what is the race around a track?? 0-100, 1/4 mile???
Think the XE on throttle bodies would win all them! (If both cars were exactly the same bar the engines)

Python - yes if you know how to handle the power and control it, but the idea of 0-60 is get the power down as hard and fast as possible, same with anythign really, hoping u get the most grip hence accelerate the fastest.
I think the xe will be better 0-100 will be close and track will be about the same

Sorry i didnt realise it was a standard let,
i think it would be very very close, once the let gets traction it would go onto 140
Yeah, agreed! LET will have more torque than the NA, I think after 100mph the LET would stage its comeback!
After 100mph, chances are you will be in 4th/5th/top gear at high revs, so you arent going to need torque, this is when power takes over.

If you were to have a better outcome on this matter, it would be better to have multiple back-to-back 1/4 mile runs, say 10? That way you know neither will be a fluke.

My old n/a 2.1 Corsa did a 4.97 sec 0-60mph & 13.28 @ 106.4mph SQM.
Is that quick enough for you?

Lucky B, im not bothered about whos is the fastest i was just saying that would be a way of answering all the questions people have!!!
i have owned a 2.1 on throttle bodies and now have a LET so i know what they are both like.

Python, people sometimes get defensive over a certain engine/car they own/owned, that's life!
