And as for the Hemi comment, the CRD is quicker off the line and over a quarter mile is only half a car length behind the Hemi.
Well the diesel has 510 torques while the 5.7 has 500. Not much difference.
But the diesel has 160Kws while 5.7 is at 240kws. Pretty big difference.

Plus the deisel sounds no where near as good as a v8 rumble.
