people, lets not forget VW with the V6 TDI in Paris Dakar, got 3rd place this year and they get better and better every year. not to mention i think Audi has tested TDI engines for LeMans.
im suprised at how many people in todays time still dont like the TDI, sure its still a little noisey, but no where as noisey as they use to be, and when it comes to performance enhanced cars who cars about noise. its about go and fuck the show. and lets not forget better fuel milage so it means more time on the track/road and less at the pump.

Yeah, the torque would be amazing...But don't forget that Diesel engines have a narrow power band, that doesn't suit a sportscar at all. And they're also MUCH heavier than a correspondent petrol engine.
And the problem of the noise in a Diesel is not the loudness, but the noise itself...
