I would not be suprised with the way they are progressing if in a few years diesels out perform petrols.

That is a very good time, although it does seem a little slow for that amount of torque. But I bet it feels faster because of this torque. I don't race too much, so I would be fine with a car that feels fast rather than one that actually is fast, but doesn't feel like it. I like cars with lots of torque.
