Horsepower versus torque

[MuFu]

Final nail in the coffin for disels.

Go into a bar next to two fantastic young ladies and say within earshot

"Golly the Renault 1.4 diesel is running ecconomically tonight "

or

" Golly, the Ferrari V8 is running smooth tonight "

and see which has the Lynx effect ....

Don't say "golly", that'll ruin it in both cases. And don't wear lynx.

you know, I have that mental image : Pentium 4 and FX 5800/5900 Ultra are weak high-reving gasoline engines, Athlon 64 and 9700 pro are good turbo-diesel

(comparison stops here as I think we should all run a FX5200 on quake 3 engine, that is 800Kg cars with a 1L gas engine . >1 ton car only if needed, and turbodiesel)

haha no.
They're big fuckin v8 engines that don't rev too high (especially the 9700.. fits v8 perfectly).
If they were turbo diesels they would suck at one thing and be really good an another.
They're pretty balanced designs so no way they're diesels
