It's not uncommon for me to be tailgated by a couple of macons on their way to work at speeds of 100 mph+. I've been driving big (for our standards) diesel engines for some 17 years now and I'm no longer king of the hill. Just about anything can keep up unless I would really go for it.

Yep. Our diesel ML 320 out pulls my 911 until it reaches 6,000 RPM. I wouldn't have a chance against a BMW 330d, Audi or Alfa Romeo diesel. Those would stomp my Porsche.
