Upgraded Sonic Turbo | Full Bolt-ons

This car was shipped in from California for the "ZZP experience." Now it's a forged, Z04-powered ripper!

After everything was installed, Turbo Tim took it to the Dyno for some final tuning and the results are in! 291 WHP and 265 ft/lbs! It's heading home making a LOT more power and should be an absolute riot for Autocross.

Want to see YOUR car featured in our next dyno video? Anytime you're getting your vehicle serviced at ZZP, you can add a dyno tune/pull for only $500! (At the time of this video's release. Pricing may change in the future.)

Surprised with the power, I was actually thinking this had a 2.0L swap! 😮 Incredible!

Damn got me looking for Sonics now, this would be a perfect little work car to run errands in

[justin.gipson]

I really like it fellas. I'm looking around for a gas getter atm as an alternative to my Tahoe, and it just has to be a fun one. I'll be honest, I had forgotten about you guys until I was chasing rabbit holes in my research of the different options out there and I was looking into the Grand prix GTPs and such and ran across a whole bunch of vids of things you guys had a hand in. I then realized that yall kept up with the times and have engineered things for the newer econo rides. Love what yall do. Just wanted to show my appreciation.

Dam he threw the WHOLE zzp catalog at this thing. Very nice

[nathanshort]

love it! i got FBO flex fuel kit. Still lookin into the cams/springs and turbo. Car is so much fun to swing around time. TIM IS THE MAN

[BishopBower]

I'm impressed! This car makes as much torque as my Civic which has a supercharged k24a2 on e85

[waynejordan]

Loved my 08 Lnf cobalt . Thinking about getting one of these to keep the love alive

[timothypadilla]

Always been into different oddball cars.. Sold my 07 SS for a C4 Corvette and I'm suffering from the usual sellers remorse. But ole girl was sitting at 200k.. Was gonna do another SS or what seems to be the now non existent Redline. Just might do a Sonic after seeing this, they're everywhere and newer. Much love ZZP

love these little cars. had 2 of them. had parts from zzp. would love to get another one some day

[destroyerofwourlds]

LETS GO! i just got another sonic 1.4 6MT this time not the auto 1.8 nugget happy to see a build like this

[alexmair]

Don't have a sonic but a suzuki sx4 manual. I can definitely relate to the handling these fun little machines give! Awesome work zzp 👏!!

[alison_withonel]

Giving a Sonic a drop and a rear sway bar really transforms it. I’m on the ZZP lowering springs and RSB and my Sonic rivals my old Mini Cooper JCW as far as fun in the twisties.

[kurtiscollins]

I’m from Ontario Canada, saw this EXACT car back in July on a trip down to Texas, was blown away with this thing!

[Deadshot-cyvr]

So I just learned I picked up a hidden gem for 5k flat had no clue it was a 20k car and could do stuff like this 😂

[stevenabbott]

Just waiting for the full bolt on encore build

[kidjoker]

i miss my sonic, wish i would’ve had the opportunity to build it before i sold it but it was a great car to get me through college

[Traveling_keith]

What wheels is he running I know he mentioned the tires but not the wheels 1:39

[roblivingston]

Cute car, wish you guys did more for the LS4 platform.

[tmonster_bert]

Awesome build. My sonic has a bad boost leak somewhere.

[BringerOfDearth]

Huh. I feel as if there's a reason I love this.
Well, go figure. LOL! 😀
