Torque and horsepower

[kinyo]

What if Car A have diesel engine and Car B have gasoline engine but both have same max Hp and max torque?

Obviously, they have different torque/hp curves to reflect their engine characteristics.

So assuming other things equal (losses, drag, weight, etc),

1. Who will reach 100kph first?
2. Who will reach 1km first?
3. Who will reach 10km first?
4. Who will reach 100km first?

My answer: Car A (diesel) on all counts because it would out-accelerate Car B during first few seconds and its initial lead distance would be maintained by the time they both reach their equal top speeds (remember, same max Hp, same losses, same drag, same weight, same etc).

Whaddya think?

edit: Let me just add equally skilled drivers, say Niky.
