exactly the same as you can with a petrol car, just a lot less revs and a lot more boost.
just nobody does in the UK.
mostly as the smallish diesels we have in the UK make it fairly pointless way to spend your cash to be fair.
and because the owners are mostly blinkered idiots and think their car is the fastest thing on earth just as they had a remap and the peak torque number is high and it feels quick to them.
diesels running 7s in the states, road legal diesels in the 10s, and ones running up to 250psi boost.
still would all be much faster if they were fuelled by something good though.
