In theory yes..providing both cars are absolutely flat out.

The thing about cars with high torque tho is that it requires much much less effort to drive quickly as they will pull hard in any gear at almost any revs.So whereas the person driving the 530d can go quickly with almost no effort, the person driving the Mr2 would have to to use every available rev and good use of gears to keep in front.

I used to think my tubby was quick but the M5 takes it too another level.The acceleration is brutal
!! Each gear change hurt my neck and you can double the speed limit in a very short space of time.
The speedo flies past 100 mph and starts pulling big numbers with ease.
Not had a adrenaline rush from a car in a long time.
I left the car grinning like a cheshire cat trying to work out what i could sell( wife, kidney etc
) to afford one.
