A personal whim
Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2016 8:43 pm
The other day I phoned a my friend and asked him to come on a private track with me for a little "race".
My car is: Fiat Panda 2009 - Gasoline engine f.i.r.e. 1.2 , 60 hp , torque: 102 Nm at 2500 rpms/min
His car is: Lancia Ypsilon 2007 - Diesel engine multijet 1.3 , 90 hp , torque: 200 Nm at 4000 rpms/min
I know, these cars aren't very powerful but I repeat: it was a personal whim.
His car seemed more fast on launching but I overtook him and he wasn't almost behind me and he couldn't overtook me anymore.
Are diesel cars so "shoddy" ?
P.S: I don't personally like diesel cars...I prefer to let the diesel engine to trucks and heavy vehicles.
