neck n neck with bmw 530d!!!!

[Chris5044]

what is going on? .. a diesel wolf in sheeps clothing?

i have 280bhp aledgedly (chip and exhaust)

also other day an audi a3 did well too ... dunno which model ... must have been the 3.2 litre!!

[T2Andy]

TDI Torque lots of it.

[Jamo]

Yeh too much fast and the furious Chris, torque is king and that BMW has a sh*t load of it

[T2Andy]

Any one got a TOURAG V10 TDI engine laying about 550ft\lb that would be a nice conversion.

[Ross]

Hmm, my bro has a 530d and I'll still rape it. And kick it for torque

Then again, a revo chip and those bad-boys put out 400ft/lbs and 240bhp which i suspect would be rather immense. Save it for the wet

Wait till you get chased by a S400 CDI on ze derestricted Autobahn.
WIth a then still stock ABY engine, he left me for dead at over 180km/h...

[Fat Audi 80]

I usually find with 530d's that they are okay neck and neck until they have to change gear and you can hang on to your gear in the S2. They have similar levels or torque or slightly higher, but it is spread over a narrower rev band. You should be pulling away after a couple of gear changes. If you get caught out off boost though you can forget it!

Cheers,

i just have tried one of my friend. it was 535D. plenty of torque!!
when i floored it doing about 70 km/h traction control swithed on immediatelly becouse rear axle wanted to be front one. it is a nice big piece of a car.

[DJones]

I have a A6 30tdi quattro, S-Line of course!! off the line it is crazy with the torque. I also have the paddle change on the steering wheel which also helps keep it in gear.

Never been one for diesel but i must say it is very impressive.

[richslay]

Best not meet the 535 then! I was looking at the figures on these 0-60 6.5, 35mpg combined! and easily chipped ... It deserves serious respect jack of no trades master of alot.

[geryS2]

yea, i must confess, those diesel engines are guetting better and better, an A8 4.0 tdi blew me away at 140 km/h .....engine torque massive !!

[RustyNut]

true, but how much do you have to pay for one of those? best thing about s2 is what you get for the money.

I'm fighting back from the petrol corner.

Diesels are stinky, noisey, smoky oil burners and sound like tractors.

We are all going to have to face the fact, that in the future, the fossil fuel burning combustion engine will die, be it petrol or diesel. Then we'll all be driving cars powered by vegetable oil and ear wax .

Who's going to harvest the ear wax?
