  • I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION. DONT JUDGE ME I DONT KNOW ALOT ABOUT CARS BUT....HOW THE HELL DO YOU MAKE THE CAR GET UP TO 60 MPH IN SECOND GEAR????.....THAT DOPE!!!

  • I got one of these for free. 2002MY. Sounds very similar. Managing 34 mpg and the trans is on its way out. First to second is harsh, second to third slips unless you increase throttle and line pressure, and third to overdrive hangs unless you let off the gas, or it just shoves itself into torque converter lockup and falls on its face lol. I love the car though just because the mpg and it was free.

  • so about 10 seconds to get to 60 mph

  • 0-60... eventually.

  • Needs more vtec!

  • That's slow. I've driven a 5 speed ZX2 and it is way faster than that. Your first mod should be a 5 speed conversion, it will shave 2-3 sec off your 0-60 time and net you better gas mileage.

  • @madmatt2024 I've got a 2000 ZX2 5-Speed. It goes 0-60 between 8 and 9 seconds

  • @madmatt2024 And I baby it

  • that was more like 0-58

  • Ford Cohort

  • i have a 2000 zx2 s/r and mine gets to 60 in second gear. it should be a little quicker then that but then again mine has more power then the regular zx2. but have fun with the car, and some notice able cheap mods is to change out the piping and the intake. the s/r comes with a nice intake that i would suggest, mine is the "iceman" intake. not sure were you live but they take great to a turbo if you really want more fun out of it

  • i do bout 8-9 seconds on my AUTO stock 99 SE(tranny is not mint either)....i only got a k&n filter and a GT stang oem muffler...not all that good gas mileage...

  • I got one for free from a cousin (who severely abused the poor thing) and the only thing that is bad about it is that the tranny (automatic) needs to warm up before it will shift smoothly. Other than that, it's still going strong at 116k mileage.

  • oh and i got over 235,000miles onmine so it's a great car to have if you plan on keeping it for a while. i redline mine almost daily to 7,000rpm and still running strong. just be awear of weak transmittions in both manuals and automatics. something about the 3rd gear. but if properly maintained it will last you a good while.

  • i own an 98 ford zx2 5speed manual with only an k&n air filter and mine runs 0-60 in 7.2 seconds and the quarter in 16.1 at 89mph. watching the video i noticed your is an automatic and acourding to zx2 forums i've read the automatics are very noticiably slower.

  • @98zx2owner I own a 2000 ford escort, i moded the interior to change it to a manual, i am running the b-16 integra manual

  • forget a stopwatch you need a calendar to calculate this thing's 0-60

  • I miss the sound of the dashboard and every piece in the car clattering at idle :(

    I used to have one but a piston rod went :(

  • you should get bigger fuel injectors sucks its a closed loop ecu system though cuz youd be able to set your jet timing i love my zx2

  • thats actually not bad for a stock auto

  • I have a 99 zx2 also, with the 2.0L DOHC. 85k, completely stock and mine does 0-60 in just over 7 sec

  • hey your car shakes also when its in a idle?? my 2001 ford escort does the same thing

  • Man, u didn't even hit 60

    pussy.

  • my ford f350 can go from 0 to 60 faster then that and its a diesel.

  • ROFL, love the comparison the car has less than 150Hp and 140 Tq vs your F350 with 300+hp and 450+ Tq, that's like putting a corvette against a prius.

    i know because i have one.

  • rofl!

  • Man i bought a stock 2000 zx2 and i've put a full stereo system, expensive new paint job, underbody and interior lights. Point is, it's a nice looking car so I make it look nicer, but it's definitely not a fast car so I don't bother making it fast.

  • These cars respond very well to a turbo. Just throwing the idea out there.

  • If yu want a Fast car dhats your price around 5000$ and Lower on Your Budgit.. a Ford Mustang 2001 Gt is great . Hear that beast rawr and you'll shit on yourself. Especially with Duels an Intake and shit :]

  • FOR 1400 $ i get a 99 grand am 3400 sfi its awesome but a v8 mustang miam ;)

  • @estidecrissdemarde

    The GM 3.4 engine is one of the worst out there.

  • help anyone?....my friend has a 99 escort like this one..automatic..and it is having trouble accelerating..he like has to stomp it to the floor to get up to speed on the interstate....any help at all would be appreciated THANKS! he has a newborn and its dangerous for the car to be doing this.

  • maby the cat is clogged up

  • does his car hesitate at all, does it smell like gas in the cabin? how much kilometers?

  • @saskmatt7 my car smells like gas in the cabin???? why

  • @zII3RiANIz could be your tps sensor(throttle position sensor, is your car blowing out black smoke from the exhaust?

  • @saskmatt7 no. its not. The mechanic said that the car was shaking because of the fuel pressure.. well lets just say he couldent fix it.

  • I'd start with a fuel filter.

  • @CoChicken1337 fuel filter doesn't make it go any faster

  • @SoftwareReviewExpert

    Clearly you've never experienced a really dirty fuel filter. A vehicle that needs a new fuel filter will do EXACTLY what he was describing. Do yourself a favor and stick with reviewing software.

  • @CoChicken1337 what the fuck are you talking about I just had my fuel filter and pump changed yesterday. Still shakes like that.. Do yourself a favor dont comment on something you dont know about :)

  • @zII3RiANIz

    I've never even talked to you. Ever. Why are you talking to me? Anyway, there was a user who asked about acceleration issues. Not shaking. I was not talking about shaking. I can guarantee I know WAY more than you about diagnosing issues with vehicles. Congrats on wasting your money though because you know nothing about cars. Maybe next time you'll ask somebody who actually knows what he's talking about (like me) instead of just troubleshooting by having parts replaced.

  • @CoChicken1337 then what were u talking about then? not the shaking. what?

  • @CoChicken1337 anyway softwarereviewexpet was talking about the transmission how the other guy had to floor the gas to get the car to go.. The transmission can be slipping. Thats what SoftwareReviewExpert was saying

  • @zII3RiANIz

    My reply to Software was about his comment about the fuel filter not making the car go any faster. That's what I was talking about; the guy having acceleration issues. You should really try reading sometime. It just might save you from looking like a complete ass. By the way, if it was a transmission issue it would probably be slipping, not bogging, and it would be a pretty expensive fix. That's why I said START WITH THE FILTER. It's a much cheaper thing to try to fix..

  • @CoChicken1337 I bet i know more about cars than u. Unless your a licensed mechanic. Anyway the fuel filter would not be of any help to the car accelerating. @CoChicken1337 ok the guy was having acceleration issues and Software was talking about the transmission may be slipping....... R u stupid. you just made yourself look like a total idiot.

  • @zII3RiANIz

    If you click "view all comments" at the bottom then you can see the order of replies.

    That's the order in which this conversation has gone. CLEARLY you're the one that looks like a stupid ass. I'm almost speechless at how dumb you are. You can barely spell and you think you know cars when it's obvious you know nothing. CLOGGED FUEL FILTER=ENGINE STARVED FOR FUEL=CAR DOESN'T RUN WELL AT ALL. If it was a trans slipping problem then the engine would rev high when you floor it.

  • @zII3RiANIz

    coandcaiv said his friend had to floor it to get up to speed. If it was a transmission slipping problem then you'd know what was wrong immediately (engine revving way up but car going nowhere). coandcaiv was describing the car just not wanting to accelerate, but nothing about the engine revving high. Go google "clogged fuel filter symptoms" and you will see that A FUEL FILTER THAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED WILL CAUSE BAD ACCELERATION AND OVERALL ENGINE PERFORMANCE. You are a complete ass.

  • @CoChicken1337 no my fuel filter was not changed for 7 years. No acceleration problem. You are a complete ass.

  • @zII3RiANIz Do you even read what I'm saying to you or do you just spew filth from your keyboard at random? Nobody is talking about YOUR car. Why are you bringing YOUR car into this? So your fuel filter went 7 years without clogging, what's your point? Does that mean that no filter EVER has ever gotten clogged within a 7 year period? No. The only thing you're saying is that you neglect your car. Also, try to be original next time and use your own words (if that's possible).

  • @CoChicken1337 @CoChicken1337 dude ur such an asshole. Im just saying it COULD be the transmission sipping. BTW im Software... you started this argument between us.. this is what you said to me.... (do yourself a favor and stick to reviewing software) <------ smart ass remark.

  • @zII3RiANIz

    No, it couldn't be the trans slipping. You wouldn't stomp the gas to the floor if that were the case. You would immediately know something was wrong (that is, if you have a brain in your head. I'm not too sure at this point.). This isn't an argument. This is you being a HUGE moron and me correcting you. My comment still stands; You should do something besides trying to work with cars. You're obviously no good at it. Now go fantasize about aliens and do some card tricks for your mom.

  • @CoChicken1337 Its a possibility of the tran slipping.. you dident correct. I just said it could be the trans slipping. IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING about cars you know It can be hard to accelerate if its the transmission is slipping. you dumb fuck

  • @zII3RiANIz

    IF THE TRANS WAS SLIPPING HE WOULD HAVE DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM DIFFERENTLY YOU DUMBASS. JESUS FUCK I DIDN'T THINK PEOPLE COULD BE AS STUPID AS YOU. DO YOU HAVE TO TRY TO BE THAT DUMB OR DOES IT COME NATURALLY?

  • @CoChicken1337 HE SAID HE HAD A HARD TIME ACCELERATING. HE DIDENT EXPLAIN IT MUCH MORE IN DETAIL THAN THAT FUCK FACE.

  • @zII3RiANIz

    For the 3rd fucking time you jakass, you WOULD NOT stomp the gas to the floor if the transmission was slipping. WHAT DON'T YOU GET??? SERIOUSLY GO WATCH THE SKY FOR SOME ALIENS OR SOMETHING. YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT CARS. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU SAY IT, YOU'RE WRONG.

  • @CoChicken1337 YES YOU WOULD IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING BAD ENOUGH MAYBE IM RIGHT UR WRONG.

  • @CoChicken1337 go shoot your fuckin paintball gun ass hole.. still do childish things ur think that your right but ur not

  • @zII3RiANIz

    First of all, I can BARELY tell what you're trying to say because your grammar, spelling, and punctuation is so horrid. Second, can you come up with ANYTHING yourself? All you did was re-word what I just said. Anyway, I like how you didn't bring up my other video that's not so childish. Unless, that is, you want to call all the NRA members "children". you are a sad excuse for a human being. You're done kid. I have owned you every time I reply. Get out of here.

  • @CoChicken1337 again if you search slipping transmission on youtube.....  GET OWNED

  • @zII3RiANIz

    You are something special aren't you? If you search "slipping transmission" on here you will find videos of EXACTLY what I have described. YOU are the one who has been owned throughout this whole thing. Seriously stop posting now.

  • @CoChicken1337 if you search SLIPPING TRANSMISSION you will see people that are having trouble accelerating. people have to floor it to get it up to speed. GET OWNED AGAIN NOOB.  i will never stop posting because i know im right you fuck head

  • @zII3RiANIz

    No. No. No. Still wrong. People do not floor it when their trans is slipping. If they did, the engine would probably redline and not really go anywhere at all.

    watch?v=y3FbK79eDhs&feature=re­lated

    Notice how he keeps having to let off of the gas to allow the trans clutches to grip again. That's what happens when a tranny is slipping.

  • @CoChicken1337 With a automatic it would shift for you so when you redline it shifts. yes.yes.yes

  • @zII3RiANIz

    NOT WHEN THE TRANS IS SLIPPING YOU FUCKING MORON. You don't at ALL understand how automatic transmissions work. STOP FUCKING POSTING ALREADY. YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING.

  • @CoChicken1337 NO IM NOT. YOUR WRONG ABOUT THE FUEL FILTER "I would start with a new fuel filter" NO. NO. NOOOOO. what does a fuel filter have to do with accelerating.  if the car doesn't get gas it doesn't GO!

  • @zII3RiANIz

    Are you fucking kidding me right now? That's exactly what I'm saying. A CLOGGED FUEL FILTER WILL CAUSE HORRIBLE ENGINE PERFORMANCE. WHAT DON'T YOU GET ABOUT THAT??? Go read my post again. You are literally the stupidest person I've ever some in contact with in my whole life.

  • @CoChicken1337 ok you said start with a new fuel filter... IT DOESENT MATTER. IF THE FUEL FILTER IS CLOGGED THE CAR WILL NOT GET GAS. ----- THERE FOR NO PERFORMANCE AT ALL YOU STUPID FUCK. LOL I LOVE ARGUING WITH YOU.

  • @zII3RiANIz

    God DAMN you are a dumb motherfucker. Clogged fuel filter does not mean completely blocked. You would definitely notice something before the filter gets completely clogged, and you would start by replacing your fuel filter, UNLESS YOU ARE A COMPLETE FUCKHEAD. (i.e. YOU)

  • @CoChicken1337 no a clogged fuel filter you would not know any difference. and with the transmission slipping you WILL have trouble accelerating. I will keep this going forever.  ur so much fun.

  • @zII3RiANIz

    And you're a joke.

  • @CoChicken1337 I know

  • @coandcaiv Transmission for sure

  • i had ford zx2 3 years ago I n never have seen before 0 60 so slow with one zx2 stock with my i beat a vr6 and gsr stock 1 2 3 any time 7200 rpm per shift

  • ima buy tommorow a old 1999 Escort it suck but its a good first car :D!!!!!!

  • I have one of those right now. GREAT car, especially for a first.

  • amazing...you come to my vid. post some bullshit, and your posting 0-60 in a fucking 99 escort? wow...you are a fuck-tard.

  • according to the video timer, that was about 11 seconds... I've got a 99 Escort Sedan, and last time I did a 0-60 test it took about 11 seconds as well. What engine do you have in your ZX2? Mine is the 2.0 SPI engine, only modification is intake.

  • i've got the DOHC, 130HP engine with a K&N air filter in it.. thats it but like i said i didn't stomp it right away so maybe that affected it. i'm wondering.. did you put the intake for gas mileage?

  • yeah, mostly. it makes it sound a little better at high RPM too.

  • oh, well i'm only 16 and i don't got a job.. mine has 116k as you can see on it so i don't wanna stick a lot of money into it. although i think the first thing i will do is put a new stereo in it if i do.

  • I considered doing some work on mine to further increase the performance, but the stock engine can't be made much better without dropping a lot of money on it. so I'd just stick with the stereo upgrade lol.

  • ya thats what i'm thinking too.. with most upgrades you have to upgrade other things to get maximum performance out of the first upgrade and after awhile you've stuck all your money into  that. i don't exactly know how they swap the stereo out because the ac and all that is connected to the stereo setup.

  • why in the hell would anyone put money into a ford escort? performance? go buy a $3000 prelude or 240 whether than waste money on a fucking escort

  • yea i wouldnt put money into it, i would just save up for a new car, well new to you anyways. You can get a good fox body mustang 89-93 for about $4000 or less and then put money into that. Fox body mustang parts are very cheap.

  • you gotta get like a new center cover. its like 80 bucks up here in michigan its basically the same thing but it just has a spot to put a deck in.

  • @JbrowZX2 you just gota order a new one from the internet my friends got a turboed zx2 thats what he had to do

  • @JbrowZX2 I have a 99 ZX2 and they just put in a stereo above my AC and stuff. I do not know what it looked like before but they seem separate. I don't know if this will help since it has been two years but I already wrote it.

  • @JbrowZX2 hey man i have a '99 zx2 and to swap out the stereo like i did in mine you need to buy the faceplate adaptor. check out my video to see what you need. you can find the faceplates at autozone/ ebay for about 50$.

  • i have a 99 zx2, its stick, but the timing belt went on me, but i like it , i miss it, there mad fun to drive
