I think it would be easy for a diesel tweeked 9-3 to beat a 9-3. Like others have stated diesel motors have ton's of torque. Diesel motors can easily be tweeked to prodice lots of power! I found that out when a friend did some tweeks to his 80's vintage Mercedes 380 (I think) diesel. It is quicker then my brothers 98 900 SET which is a turbo 5 speed :o) vs a auto Mercedes.
Also, if you are in a drag race in a diesel & keep it at high RPM's you are an idiot! It's the drivers job to shift the car at the proper time to give the greatest power at all times. If it's shifting at 4K RPM's in a diesel or 6,200 (for now) RPM's in my SPG the driver should be able to determine where the proper shift point is :o)
Is the alpine a auto or manual & is the 530 a auto or manual?
