Need Panspeed experts...validate claims...

Some guy out here is selling what he claims to be a panspeed ex show car from japan and is claiming 400hp plus on stock twins.

I know people on here will know panspeed and will be able to tear this apart from pics and validate if this is indeed as claimed.

Lot's of people think he's full of ish so please for arguments sakes check this out.

I dont see ONE panspeed part on that car? The body kit is c-west. And I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt that car is making anywhere near 400hp.

It might not even be making 300hp depending on if it had an aftermarket ECU or not.

Boo.

the suspension may be Panspeed, the hood..??? I dont think panspeed made any colored carbon hoods. That is absolutely not a Panspeed Demo car. It may have had some work done there but then again I dont recognize that license plate as one from around this area and I live only 20 minutes from Panspeed.
He is 100% full of s%$t or 100% mis informed.

Why does the diffuser look fake? HAHA! Everything looks pretty much genuine on the car...LOL. Even has tacky JDM clear lights and RX-8 style tails. I think the smoked RX-8 tails look better...

That's actually wrong. There's a girl running stock sequential twins at 17-19psi making over 400hp. Also a *long* time ago, there was a guy who was making ridiculously fast 1/4 mile passes on stock twins.

Older members than I will have to confirm/ give names. I know the first car was featured in Sport Compact Car.

They don't live long up there, but it can be done. All that aside, the car is not panspeed by any stretch.

John Duarte/Boostn7 here on the forum made 402 rwhp on stock twins, but his car is the exception the rule. Generally speaking, you won't make a true 400 rwhp (125 mph 1/4 mile trap speed) on stock twins over any period of time.

As far as I know, Ashley (the SCC link) never made 400 rwhp. Her FD is very nice though

I was under the impression that the record was somewhere around 375. I guess I was wrong.

i think the real question is at how many psi and how long did they last, and it obviously wasnt on stock ports.

JD was on stock ports and stock turbos. Now, the original post says 400hp, not necessarily 400 rwhp.

stated perfectly.

First thing that stood out was the C-West kit and then the un color changed engine bay. Why would panspeed who has their own body kit use a different company.

Those tweeters look like **** as well.

Because they are a shop, and maybe the guy couldn't afford their body parts, so they offered to sell him a c-west kit? Talking about the OWNER of the car though...

Is that a reply to me?


I was going off the OP's post that the car is an EX panspeed show car. So why would an EX panspeed show car not have any standout panspeed parts and a unpainted color change bay.
