dont see why not as long as the car can shift its arse to 60 quickly then it will do fine, as rally cars have to be robust, reliable and be able to accelerate quickly...top speed is much of an issue as there arnt many flat out stretches in a rally course

But the engine weighs alot more because deisel engines run at higher compression therefore need a thicker block making them heavier
