Today we’re letting a professional racing driver have a go in one of our terrible cars and we’re gonna drive his fully prepped race car. If we don’t beat it, our car gets CRUSHED. Charlie is a pro racing driver who’s competed in Le Mans twice, so he knows what he’s doing. The car we’ve chosen for him is our £1500, 140mph and usually broken Vauxhall Zafira. Meanwhile, we are complete amateurs, and we’ll be driving a £100,000 fully prepped Ginetta racecar. We’ll each get a few laps to get used to the car and then we’ll have one final timed lap.
A huge thank you to Ginetta for sorting the track for us! Check out Ginetta's channel ‪@ginettatv‬

If you want to mod the Zafira, and want to get a little crazy with it - it shares an engine platform with the Chevy Cobalt SS and the Saab 9-3. Which means you can be the only people on earth with the 2.8L Holden turbo V6 out of a Saab 903/Cadillax BLS/Vectra VXR. Tell me this thing wouldn't rip with 400 horsepower being pushed out of it.

@JamesBalazs 21 күн бұрын

No room whatsoever in the Zafira engine bay for a Z28NET. The Z20LET it has that's already forged by the previous owner would be trivial to take to 400hp. It would do 500+ if they changed the pistons but I suspect it's just a rod job.

@serenahansen2394 20 күн бұрын

It's not the same platform, the Z20LET / LEH in this is an older iron block design, but that means with a proper engine build and a big turbo it will make 400hp anyway.

@HarrySwettenham26 18 күн бұрын

Well it clearly where Car Throttle are going wrong. You have to speculate to accumulate and that is buying cars to do projects with to make great content. It's a shame that CT has gone the way it's gone but I am so fortunate that Auto Alex has invested in the AA Multiverse with TDC and All the Gear. The content across the three channels is fantastic.

The Z20LEH is an extremely tunable engine, as is the Zafira OPC a tunable car. You can get: - full kit of Wössner forged pistons and rods right now for from Nevlock Performance - upgraded gearbox with an added limited slip diff from Gear Lab for (or just the limited slip diff itself if you don't care about larger bearings and such) - short shifter kit from BAF Motorsport - boost silicone hoses kit from Roose Motorsport - coolant silicon hoses from Speedcool - H&R coilover kit from WinParts - all UltraRacing chassis braces from VoorwindenParts and GT2i (there are more than 15 braces for the underbody, under the hood, inside the car, etc. and they make it race-car-like rigid)

Some feedback though - please, please, please spend a minute or so at the start explaining why you are doing what you are doing (eg some sort of bet or "we wanted to see if the zafira was worth saving") and intro us to who else is going to be in the vid (eg this is my mate/bloke we met in the pub called Charlie and give us some of his credentials).
