The timing on those tests would have merit if there wasn't traffic, or if they went full throttle all the way. But there is traffic, and they don't go full throttle. Given that, the times don't mean much of anything. With an equal load I would expect the Duramax to be the fastest followed by the Powerstroke and then the Cummins. In the real world they're all plenty fast and powerful, though - it literally wasn't something I even considered when I evaluated the three.
x2. Even with higher ratings the Ford just can't seem to outpull the GM. It's surprised me a couple of times.
My lowly G56 powered Cummins would be a couples of minutes behind everyone but it will keep doing it reliably for years to come with less heat and easy maintenance so I'm OK with that!
