Do a little tuning on the diesel and then there is no comparison,none, notta. And yes it will hold up to it with no problems.
Not quite. I have an Audi with a 2 liter turbo direct injection gas engine. Stock it puts out 211 hp and 258 lb torque. The peak torque is between 1500 and 4200 rpm. To match that torque and hp per liter displacement, the latest DM, PS or Cummins would need to put out over 700 HP and 860 lb torque. I can go to an Audi dealer and get a Stassis ECM program and exhaust with full factory backed warranty and boost the output to 270 hp and 328 lb torque. To match that output per liter the diesels would need to produce 900 hp and 1100 lb torque.
Yes, I completely agree diesels make for better towing and I love my Cummins but today's gassers aren't your grandpa's gassers.
