You will allways be the laughing stock when you don't act as 95% of mainstream people and dare to be different in getting results.
Don't let that put you down.
I love diesels for their grunt low down & MPG.
Here is a topic of me with some nice results from a 1.5ton Mondeo against big petrol cars, they don't laugh so hard anymore.

Those car do 35-50MPG all day long, so when on track i fuel up before i leave home, race all day and get home on same tank no problem, try to do that with any petrol car.
When u need advice or anything else, feel free to contact me anytime pall.
You won't be as "fast" as fastests petrols, but how many Hp do u need on twisty roads etc. ?
Any1 can have 500+Bhp, but how many use it
