Avenger1647545502 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 I saw one at Mid-Ohio last year, it was running pure stock and passing a few of the competition built Escorts and equivalents. I dunno, I kinda like them. Maybe it's the different grill/bumper design that makes them look a little harder than the usual ZX2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coty061885 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Since I'm probably the only ZX2 driver that visits this forum (but never posts) I should make some comments. The S/R's were made in '99 and '00. S/R stands for street/racing (yeah, ricey). They claim to have a little over 140 HP as opposed to the 130 of regular ZX2's. Art95Celica's list pretty much covered everything. In '99, 100 models came with a Roush intake that was supposed to be the best intake made for the ZX2. They're hard to find and go for way more than any sane person would pay for an intake. The only part of the S/R I would really like to have is the rear discs, centerforce clutch and the PCM. The rest I can do without or get better versions of. But that's about all I gotta say, I'll go back into seclusion now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
