It has now been confirmed the Panda turbo has set a new record at the track yesterday. The best 1/4mile time of 13.642sec while being driven by a friend of mine(i was working yesterday:mad: ). This was the first time the car was used with slicks that obviously aided traction. The only car capable of beating it this morning was a Supra TT 6spd with a 12.7sec 1/4mile. I have been told otherwise but i believe my friend raised the boost to 10psi to get these times since the compression is decreasing on cylinder 2 and 4 which would indicate signs of overboosting. So according to 1/4mile times at the track the Panda should be able to race an M3(13.679sec) without any embarassment at all, it could actually embaress the M3 owner to say the least:D . I´m now happy with this project and once i get the punto 6spd installed and a new paint job it will be retired to shows only and not raced anymore(if i can resist the temptation;) ). The car actually looks like a stock panda other then the low rumble coming from the custom twin outlet 2.5" exhaust(from the manifold back).
