Horsepower is horsepower?
If that theory is true (in real circumstances), then a 385hp 6.7L Cummins diesel shouldn't spank a 381hp Toyota Tundra when both are tested 0-60 towing a 5740# boat. But it did. Must be the adva...

Problem with these threads is they always become gas versus diesel debates instead of boosted versus unboosted. Futile.
Okay,put a boosted eco boost into a HD truck with the same boosted hp diesel. Hook up the max trailer weight to the back of it.
As soon as they put a 6.7 liter turbocharged direct injection gas engine in a HD truck, let's do that. Until then, stop comparing a 3.5L gasser to a 6.7 liter diesel.
LOL! You will never see a 6.7 liter turbo gas in a truck. HAHA, we couldn't afford to keep gas in it. We are comparing hp to hp not liter to liter.
It would likely be a fuel hog but it would be a towing monster. However, as you say we are comparing hp to hp, not fuel economy. If you are comparing hp to hp how can you not compare liter to liter? My ten liter boosted engine is more powerful than your five liter boosted engine. Duh!
