[harper454]

[chrisanthony14]

typical  red necks..

[OriginalRanger84]

Oh and whats the engine? I saw 351 and then 408, is it a 351 bored to 408?

[ZX2Fast]

I think it is bored and stroked to 408. It still has the crappy 351 heads on it, though.

[OriginalRanger84]

Whats the little lever thing on the back? like a fuel cut off?

[ZX2Fast]

Are you talking about the 'push off' switch? It is a battery cut switch so the power can be shut off in an emergency.

[7houghtsaboutl1fe]

even tho its fast as fuk... its ugly as fuk....... why u pick that car?

[ZX2Fast]

You sound like a fanboi. Which is it, Honda or GM?

[7houghtsaboutl1fe]

niether... i just dont think that car is even worthy of runnning 10s... its so ugly.....

lol

[ZX2Fast]

Okay then. You are obviously the smartest person on the internet, so I'll just leave it at that.

[7houghtsaboutl1fe]

the car is still ugly......

[magazinedude2002]

@ZX2Fast this................is sick. period.

[BrownieZX2]

Great job! How did you integrate the rear end? Is it a daily driver? Good idea with the power glide. I would like to do one myself. I think I might go with a T5 though or even a 4l60e. The question is manual or auto

[ZX2Fast]

It's not my car. He built a tube frame for it to keep it from twisting up. It is not a daily car but from what I've seen of it, it wouldn't be hard to make it a daily. It still has a VIN number plate, I think. Once you start making that much power an automatic is going to be faster because of the shift time and amount of sudden torque.

[manonjourney]

now that is some creation right there.. great job to the builder

[lix2000sr]

now that would get me into some trouble

[mongoose063]

Put that dip in

[david1231509]

thats fuckin cool i have the same car and the same color how much did that cost im planning on doing that to my car when i have enough money this car is the ultimate sleeper live on escorts fuckin a

[ZX2Fast]

Not my car. I don't know how much he spent. He did all of the work himself including the tube frame.

[blackman5000an2]

i have to give it to you would have never thought the zx2 could be tricked out like that, by its self the cars a bitch, i know, im driving one, but you my friend.... you.... have made it a god

[tamaninja00]

that thing is amazing...wish it didnt have a shitty gm motor in it

[ZX2Fast]

It is actually a 351 stroked out to 408. The transmission is a GM but the rear end is Ford.

[tamaninja00]

Ohh, well thats better then. I was gonna say chevy motor in a ford is blasphemy haha

[Sonor05]

That's just sick!!! This is a dumb question, but how hard was it to make a front wheel drive into a rear wheel drive?

[REDCHARGE1234]

Yup I'm a 30yr old dummy , nothing wrong with sniper or the cheap used gude kit I used , put down decent numbers for 6.7 psi , 208.5hp and 251tq , slipping clutch , until I decided to turn up the boost and snap a reod...hehehhee escorts. Whats your numbers dummy ?

[ZX2Fast]

I haven't dynoed it. It runs dead even with the SRT-4 and is faster then the 4.6 Mustang GT. All of this with more then 180,000 miles on it. What is a reod and how do you snap them? You couldn't even find vacuum leaks without the help of Team ZX2. You had more threads in the FI section then the rest of us combined. Face it, you can't even properly build a 4 cylinder turbo so you sure as hell couldn't stuff a V8 into a ZX2. You don't even own a welder and you paid to have your car tuned.

[REDCHARGE1234]

Sticks and Stones kid.

[ZX2Fast]

Kid? I'm old enough to be your daddy. Don't think any of us ZXTuners have forgotten all the stupid questions you asked about boosting your car and all the stupid decisions you made when you put that crappy Gude kit on it. Then you were dumb enough to use a Sniper tuner. Yeah, I think that about sums up how stupid you are.

[REDCHARGE1234]

That was stupid , I've seen 11's with a 2.0, anyone can drop some skoal in there mouth and a v8 in .........

[ZX2Fast]

Not anyone. You can't even change your own air filter. Jackass.

[REDCHARGE1234]

Sticks and Stones kid.

[REDCHARGE1234]

hmmm lets see 5w30 , 13mm oil pan bolt , and hmmm fl-2005 oem filter , or do you want fram number to?...hehehehehe

[tootsi17]

O yea if my 2.0 auto tranny goes out again im deff puting the extra 5.0 to good use....this makes me wana do it right now!! lol nice job.

[Rusty91o]

This is ridiculous. Ridiculously amazing!

[catman351]

Absolutely sickkkkkk!

[Wannabe000]

Now thats a muscle car I would love to drive..

[pbking2010]
