With the size of that turbo the power and torque will all come in a lump at the top end. That's exactly why it's slower actually.

[@parmpurewal4204]

EPIC! Both cars are evenly matched if driven the same..petrol for sound and top speed. Diesel for low down torque and economy. Diesels were designed for instant power, moving loaded trains, lorries etc, hence the instant torque, which in the real world translates into effortless acceleration and easy overtaking AND fuel economy. Depends on how deep your pockets are and if you want instant power delivery or progressive acceleration/top speed. Cant beat low down torque in any gear OR the sound and speed from a petrol. Love both 💙🙏

[@Naeromusic]

I feel like the reason this went towards the petrol is that he has to shift far less frequently (he can rev it much higher than the diesel)

The skoda driver makes sure hes already accelerating before they both hit the line , so they start at the same point but not at the same speed. We need to have a line 30meters before the start that they have to be level at. Seen way to many drivers do this and it always helps

[@michaelhorsman3380]

In the drag race is the fab hitting limiters before changing gear?

Big respect to skoda man and his family 👍👍

Thanks so much mate

@@jackgibson6245 No worries mate, I have shared and donated your go fund me, when my daughter little she had a few health issues, she was in the children's hospital in Bristol, it was during covid so they would only let my wife in with her i lived out of hotels so I sort of know what your going through, just gotta keep your chin up and keep smiling for your families sake it's bloody hard know but gotta be done. Take care mate best of luck to you and yours 👍👍👍👍

@@twinscrollturbo4410 isn't a bit ironic that we are talking about dieseases, when he drives a car that literally gives oncologic disorders to others?

[@saschapapp]

@@weed46 technically every ICE car does that, arguably direct injection petrol cars way more with their small particles

[@weed46]

Stock cars are pretty clean. Of course every ICE car produces particles, but hope you're not trying to compare a clean burning engine with this POS black smoke machine when it comes to give oncologic diseases.

[@AK88onCars]

Jamie - Always wondered if you should add a "break test" round too ? I know its a bit "carwow did it first" but cars without decent stopping power - is the automotive equivalent of 'skipping legs day' in the gym!

[@PiOfficial]

Brake tests are moronic. Just comes down to tyres and on higher end cars aero.

[@AK88onCars]

@@PiOfficial Sure - if you ignore: Weight, weight distribution, brake size, number of pistons in callipers, brake bias, size of master cylinder, disc material, pad material, fluid etc. Also a large percentage of cars on this channel are modified middle of the range cars - a brake test those with experience ahead.

[@PiOfficial]

@@AK88onCars the only thing you mentioned that makes any difference is weight distribution. Although it’s so marginal that the variation in road conditions between the two different sides of a track will make it impossible to measure. Stock brakes can take more kinetic energy out of a moving car than any road legal tyres can handle. Brake upgrades don’t affect stopping distance all cars basically stop in the same distance when equipped with the same tyres. If you don’t believe me turn off abs and slam your brakes in literally any car ever made at 60mph and you will lock the wheels because the brakes aren’t the weakpoint the tyres are. If you want to see how much weight comes into it check out how friction coefficient changes with loading on modern tyres. It’s a few % at the extremes.

[@AK88onCars]

​@@PiOfficial Appreciate the educated reply 👍 Your right (at speeds less then 60mph), but only in a vacuum (figuratively speaking) where conditions are perfect and heat and inertia are playing no part. In your example, you also take that standard breaking system around a track and by the second lap - the effectiveness of the brakes have reduced significantly, and the balance of all those other points come into play. Then, a car with a better braking set up, will show up cars with 2x the straight line performance. This applies equal parts to suspension, tyres, cooling, engine, control systems, etc every part of the car. And I guess that's the point I'm getting to, in your 20's you build cars that are "all gas, no brakes". You then take said unbalanced car off the street, and find on most focus settings, it excels at nothing (personal experience, loony numbers in FWD hot hatches - good fun, but flawed). When you're more of a grown up, you build your car in equal parts, as what you then build is more complete car that does better all around. Life's rarely straight lines.

My sister used to drive red Fabia vRs from 2004. That was a really quick car

[@alexstewart2247]

You can see the ways petrol and diesel are superior to each other in these races, diesel with its low end torque through the lower gears and petrol once is gets galloping at high revs great show!

[@FrmerK20]

no diesel should ever smoke like that, mechanical nor commorail. just bad tuning through and through. nice race though

[@CharlieICEdreamz]

To run those pd130s at that sort of power you have to overfuel them to help keep the temperature in each cyclinder under control

[@rossclegg654]

Diesel did well man. And remember its a 1.9 8v SPD vs a much more modern 2.0 16v twin cam

golfs shorshifter is hell of a quick clean shifts all the time too :o

[@JaxKiBez]

I can image what we're IAT's in Skoda after few seconds of full boost. 😅 No wonder it loses at the far end. 😄Nice build!

[@TheBrokenMountainBiker]

I used to own a tuned Fabia vrs, very quick car for the brief 1500-2000rpm window where it makes power. Not a lot before or after it. I think that's where you can see the petrol powered car with its broader power band pulling away. Still, chill with the throttle and that Fabia will still do north of 55mpg! Lol

I think alot of people underestimate diesels I did until I got a pd170 hybrid turbo etc so much more fun to drive than gti etc and it's always good to see the face on the 15k plus golf's face when you smoke past literally 🤣

[@simaothekid]

"diesel more fun to drive" said no one ever... Specially with the heavier engine on the front, and the horrendous noise/smoke it makes... Any Petrol car over a dirty diesel!

It should be ready spring time (hopefully but iv got a mk1 golf that started life with 1.0 it’s now fitted with 2.0Tsi with DSG should be around the 350 mark when finished 👍🤫

[@gasperfantas]

It is hilarious how you can gauge the speed of the fabia by the position of the smoke off the line :'D

[@J3n555]

As you can see torque has no benefit in racing. Hp is what matters. Fabia has like double the torque and still they're so even.

[@garage5125]

well its somwhere in between. high torque engine will not bog down at launch, with high torque engines you can often start from 2nd gear without much problems... but of course, technically high torque engine has the same power in less rpm than low torque high rpm engine.

[@Mr330d]

100lb ft more is not Double

[@J3n555]

@@Mr330d does not matter. Hp is hp. 1000ftlbs at 1000rpm is 190hp. 500ftlbs at 7000rpm is 666hp. Torque means nothing if you can't rev.
