I worked on turbo diesel HUMMER's when I was in the Army, not quite a duramax, but let me tell you, the purpose of the turbo diesel is to get more power to push something very ****ing heavy. Now a days diesels are built a lot different obviously. but diesel is still diesel and it takes a bit to get them fired up. I am not surprised that the Titan smashed him. I want to say that if went on for distance the duramax would have eventually flown by. Once that big turbo gets going and the diesel gets a burning, watch out. Same thing for the HUMMER (not to mention it was up armored) but still once it got going it was quite the rocket. By the sound of the black smoke you saw, I would also say he needs some tuning.
