EXHIBIT 23.1 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT We consent to the incorporation by reference in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A Amendment No. 2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of Zapata Corporation dated December 5, 2003 and in the Registration Statement on Form S-8 of Zapata Corporation (Registration No. 333-45568) - 1996 Long Term Incentive Plan of our report dated June 6, 2003 (which report expresses an unqualified opinion and includes explanatory paragraphs relating to (1) the Company's emergence from bankruptcy as of October 10, 2000, and the effect of this emergence on the comparability of the consolidated financial statements and (2) the Company's change in method of accounting for goodwill to conform with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142), and contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Safety Components International, Inc. for the year ended March 29, 2003.

EXHIBIT 99.7 On September 23, 2003, Zapata purchased 2,663,905 shares of Safety Components International, Inc. ("Safety Components" or "Safety") common stock in privately negotiated transactions. These shares were purchased for $30.9 million and represented approximately 54% of Safety's common stock outstanding. Zapata accounted for this transaction under the purchase method and consolidated amounts related to Safety's assets and liabilities into Zapata's consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2003. Although Zapata and its other consolidated subsidiaries have calendar quarter ends, balances related to Safety's fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2003 were included as if Safety utilized a calendar quarter end. Due to the timing of the acquisition, no amounts related to Safety's operations were included in Zapata's consolidated statements of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003. On October 7, 2003, Zapata purchased an additional 1,498,489 shares of Safety common stock in privately negotiated transactions. These additional shares were purchased for $16.9 million and increased the Company's ownership percentage of Safety's outstanding common stock to approximately 84%. The Company is in the process of performing an assessment of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired to determine the final allocation of the total purchase price. The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of income give effect to Zapata Corporation's acquisition of 84% of Safety's common stock. The pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2003 and the statements of operations assume the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of each of the periods presented. These statements are presented after giving effect to certain adjustments for compensation agreements, forgone interest and related income tax effects which are based upon currently available information and upon certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. These pro forma amounts do not purport to present what Zapata's consolidated balances or results of operations would have been if the aforementioned transaction had in fact occurred as of the assumed dates, nor do they project the Company's consolidated results of operations for any future period.
