Yes but at "only" 2.5 litres, I'm sure you'll argue that the 
displacement of your pig-iron lump will make up for the higher 
compression. Remember diesel fuel gives off less energy than petrol per 
unit volume too. It's just the engines are more efficient at extracting 
that energy.

A tug of war with a skyline would be silly as they don't weight much, 
but a drag race would teach you a thing or two I think.
