What makes you think that? it would be in a higher gear and it would have dropped down in the rev range to where it makes roughly 60hp...
The petrol would be in a lower gear and would be producing 130hp. Both would be traveling at roughly the same speed (if you do the math the petrol is in front by a few km/h).
The petrol is accelerating harder period.
The diesel is making more torque period.
The theory that torque determines your rate of acceleration is therefore proven wrong.
Don't believe me?
get acceleration graphs that prove me wrong.
