The diesel is very sweet, extremely quiet and tons of torque. When you put the foot down all you hear is a nice v8 growl. It's got twin turbos and a huge intercooler.
0- 60mph is 8.6 seconds, standing quarter mile is 16.1. Not sure how this compares to the 5.7l but the 4.7 Petrol in the same config gets:-
0- 60mph in 9.5 seconds and standing quarter in 16.8.
Driving along there is not a hint of diesel rattle or noise, smoke etc. Most people don't even know it is a diesel when standing next to it at idle unless you open the hood.
Also gets 22.4 mpg on a combined urban/hwy cycle as defined by Aust gov method. For comparison the equivelent thing for the 4.7 petrol is 15.6 mpg. No 5.7l here yet I am afraid.
