Power Hour with ZZP

What horsepower level actually makes sense for a street-driven Sonic, Cobalt, Grand Prix, ATS, ATS-V, Slingshot, etc.? How much horsepower is actually too much for a street car? In this episode of the ZZP Power Hour, we’re talking about what really makes a car fun, fast, and still livable on the street.

From traction and drivability to reliability, cooling, suspension, and, of course, horsepower, we’ll break down where we’d stop on some of our favorite ZZP platforms.

Welcome back to another ZZP Power Hour Podcast! You asked for high-level technical discussion, cutting-edge engineering, and carefully prepared educational content.

So naturally, we’re putting four ZZPerformance employees in a room for an hour to talk about shitboxes. Cheap cars. Questionable decisions. Too much boost. Parts worth more than the car itself. Builds that should’ve stayed simple but absolutely did not. These are the cars we love—the affordable, mod-friendly platforms that let normal people go fast, break stuff, fix it, and make even worse decisions next time.

Join the boys live as we talk favorite shitboxes, past builds, current projects, bad ideas, great stories, and whatever else the chat drags us into. No supercars. No velvet ropes. Just shitboxes.

Because apparently, this is what you people really want.

Will we teach you anything? Maybe. Will we spend 20 minutes arguing about some $4,000 car that hasn’t run correctly since 2019? Almost certainly.

Grab a drink, open the live chat, and come hang out while four grown men passionately discuss shitboxes for an hour.
