Yeah in theory since the Diesel's have much more low end torque they should be faster.
I've driven a few Diesels (namely Ford's old 7.1L Powerstroke, and an International truck) and in both cases the Diesel's feel like they don't like to accelerate RPM's much.
The V-10 on the other hand can rev up from 500 RPM to 5000 RPM almost like the 4 cylinder in my old Focus--very quickly. I think this tends to make the V-10 feel like a fast engine.
