Got to disagree there. Just because it has the same torque figure does not make it as fast. 0-60 is far slower, 0-100 is even more slower and the all important in gear times are slower too. Plus by the time the diesel has reached it's torque figure, it's nearly out of revs. The 180 has several thousand more RPM's to play with. Take them on a race track together and then see just how much faster the 180 is ! I'll give you the fuel quote though, you're right on that !!
