I was just wondering witch car would win. A de with headers and cai or a ze with a performance clutch and a cai. For aruge sake everything else is the same. how would win

Depends on what the contest is. If it's the traffic lights Grand Prix up to (say) 40 mph, the DE will have the advantage of developing the same torque at lower rpm, whereas the ZE takes a bit longer because of the time to get to the higher revs. If it's 0 to flat out (i.e. who can get the highest speed), the ZE will win because it can reach higher rpm in top gear.

The cai is on both, so the small benefit from that is equalised, the headers only help at high rpm (so good for Case B but not Case A), and I don't think the clutch will have a large effect, but it would cancel some of the DE's advantage.

Well, that's my view

I hope that mine will win. Mine is the de with headers. I will race him at the track 1/4.

The "Driver" factor may make all the difference, think positive.

Who's gonna get better traction? That'd be my question. I've seen Pat's ZE spin in place basically through 3 gear. He has great suspension but was doing it for show. Which also leads the question to who is a better driver as JSchrauwen said.

I usually take off at just under 3 grand, just so the tires chirp slightly then grab, maximum grip is key
