Of course torque is very good at Singapore speeds but you will get smoked by the petrol Biturbos on the nshw. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel pulls you hard very early but runs out of steam.

I almost "lost" tail when wet rainy day. Driven many cars (including currently owned one) with more than 600Nm going to rear wheels. Easy to get the rear loose in the dry on moderately good tyres. Weight is important. My 12C is lighter and the rear steps out more easily than my old F10 M5 (with more torque but also more weight).
