Oh...oh....geeeeeeze....the 4.5TD will blow the 5.7.....oh god....crap.....man, the TD will pound the 5.7 all over the place...wow, holy moly.....
WAIT! This just in:
The 4.5 TDV8 200-series does 0-62 in 10.5 seconds (0-100km/h)
Toyota 200 Series LandCruiser - drive.com.au
I can't wait for Waggoner5 to pass me up in my 5.7L model. Of course that'll be when I run out of gas!
7.0 sec...5.7L
10.5 sec...TD
Oh my god guys! Admit it! Those numbers aren't close and therefore they show the vast power differences. That TD couldn't catch that 5.7 if it tried! Once they've hit 62MPH and they're cranking, the 5.7L's HP will keep it pulling away. Good god folks!
Again...so now you are picking another magazine that posts a number and using it a fact. How many different 0-60 times are there?
Here's a link, they put a piggyback system on the diesel...or "chip" as you might say. 318Hp and .4 seconds. top speed...136mph. (performance increase with accessory device) per magazine.

You keep stating it will blow it away, yet all we have is a 0-60 time with 1.4 seconds stock difference. that is NOT blowing away. Any stating afterwards is just speculation.
The only thing we can conclusively say is thats it's 1.4 seconds faster to 62Mph.
Hopefully someone who has driven BOTH can comment rather then the other assumptions that keep flying by.
