  • What is the most overlooked hot hatch platform of all time? The Chevy Sonic might arguably be one of the contenders. With its 1.4 turbocharged 4 cylinder engine the Chevy Sonic RS was one weird decision by Chevorlet. From being in the fourth transformers movie to a rental car, the Sonic was a jack of all trades. ZZperformance with their engineering skills developed a big turbo upgrade for the Chevy Sonic - and honestly I can't even describe it... but I can show you. So let's for a drive and take a rip in a 300HP Chevy Sonic!

    The Sonic has become a low-key favorite around the shop. Thanks for the video!

    For me, I think the second gen Honda Fit definitely should have gotten a 200 hp Si variant.

    I'm a Chevy fan and you're blowing my mind with all these Chevy sleepers that I never knew about thanks for this content

    The Regal GS (Opel/Vauxhall/Holden Insignia) definitely got over looked and is a great enthusiast car. Available with manual, and available with awd

    My favorite part about the sonic is the weird gauge cluster. It reminds me of a motorcycle for some reason. Idk why, but I really dig these things.

    The sonic was the first car I bought with my own money and I still have it and now are working on turning it into a sleeper. It was always such a fun car to drive anyways but now because of ZZP i get to carry on with my first car and turn it into something a million times better.

    I always wondered if these non-performance Chevys had any potential, and this is a nice answer to that. 300 is a great number for a small commuter car. Lots of fun could be had

    Omg the timing of this video is incredible! 😂 My best friend has never been into cars but just got a 2018 Chevy sonic RS and decided he wants to build it as his first project car. Well today he did his first mod. Had to send him this video and now he knows about ZZP so this should be fun. Thank you for showing off builds on all sorts of cars. Not the same 10 popular models. Keep up the great content 🖤😁

    Please keep up these awesome unorthodox builds🙏🏼 I love the channel for that reason. It’s so cool to see so many different things being modified besides what your normally seeing. Keep it up man👏🏼

    Hell yeah ZZP, hell of a review 👏. You guys deserve it👍

    Having owned a Sonic hatchback I always loved how agile it was. It had all the bases covered for being a fiesta ST-esque competitor, but there was so little aftermarket it kind of killed any chance of tuning it :(

    Working for Chevrolet I always saw the Sonic with so much potential. I've waited and I'm glad to see one actually created.

    Between this and that Pontiac Vibe from a bit ago, these spicy side-quest builds are so much fun

    What you described is what I loved about my Supercharged Cobalt SS. While it had less HP than the ZZP Sonic, it was still fun to get on it and rip through the gears…and still get decent gas mileage. Also glad to see ZZP is still around and doing great things. They were a huge part of the Cobalt forums back then and always had top notch products and service. Someday I want to own a boosted EcoTech again.

    David, I don't know how you can be in this RUclips game so long and still continue to surprise me. I've been a fan of yours for a very long time. Keep up the good work as usual. I like the fact that ZZP takes on small economy cars like that. It makes the world of modifying cars way more accessible for people like me that are living paycheck to paycheck. It also makes it more accessible for people that like simpler builds that are just bolt-on's. I used to have a 2015 Pontiac Grand Am. It had the 3.4 liter V6 in it. Sadly, because I didn't know what I was doing and had MSD ignition coils in it without a controller I went way past red line and blew up the engine. ZZP was one of the only people at the time that had aftermarket parts for that car. I think in reality there was only like 4 companies. I would love to test drive a tuned up Sonic like that. The only thing in car culture that I don't understand is all these old fogies that like their classic cars but if anything import rolls up they immediately hate it. Like they don't understand that from those American car companies these days there's nothing you can touch for under 30 grand that you can modify that isn't some type of economic car and its previous life. I'll never understand the old people hating on imports like VW Honda Subaru and others. I really like that during the period that they made the Sonic Chevy Ford and dodge were all doing highly experimental and weird things. I think it's time for a second renaissance of the big three in the United states taking some chances on making cars that are easily accessible and then easily modifiable. It's wishful thinking though, the likelihood of that happening is slim to none.
