They can, if the diesel is stock. The difference is, for $400, you can use a Bully Dog or PPE programmer and gain 120+hp and 200+ ft/lbs of torque with a diesel.
I've seen 2008 Duramax extended cab 4x4's with just a PPE programmer running high 13's. That's almost a 1/2 second quicker than a Tundra DC 4x2.
A half second may not seem like a lot. But in general, for every tenth of a second, add a truck length in difference. So on a 1/4 mile run, that Duramax would outrun a Tundra by 5 truck lengths. That's a lot.
I'm not saying buying a diesel is the most economical decision, but from a performance perspective (which is what I care about), you can't beat the potential of an oil burner.
Like I said, I wouldn't trade my Tundra for ANY gas truck on the market. But I'd trade it in a heartbeat for a diesel for the dollar per horsepower gains
