Bad ass Escort ZX2

[buffdaddy1302]

Jim Evanuik from North Versailes PA races this car. He and Jim Varacalli built it. It runs NHRA and IHRA Super Stock in the GT/A class. He runs it in my local Stock/Super Stock Association races. I believe it is a 2002, but I could be mistaken. 351 Cleveland motor, 4 speed Jericho transmission. He set the NHRA GT/A record last November in Cecil Georgia, 8.90 seconds, 151.60 mph.

@buffdaddy1302 Sweet! Thanks for the info on it. That's an awsome car, I'm glad he's done so well with it.

[Caveira138]

@buffdaddy1302 Its a 2003 you can tell by the different front bumper, last yera they made it.

[adinrulez12345]

yeah i meant to put 03 not 02

[adinrulez12345]

the person who can do this to a second gen escort is my hero

[alscort93]

@adinrulez12345 They're basically the same, built on the same Mazda platform. As highly modified as that ZX2 is a 2G wouldn't be any different.

[ADProductionsBra]

[eskimochild87]

what year is that escort...i see em on the road and cant find em online, i like the front grill beter on this one then mine

[Showbird88]

@eskimochild87 It's a 2004. I had a 1999 it was the same the only difference is the grill.

[eskimochild87]

@Showbird88...are u sure its an 04? cuz im lookin online and they have a 04 focus

[Showbird88]

@eskimochild87 I was going by the announcer. I turned up the volume on my computer and it sounds like he said 04 escort. I may have heard wrong so check it out.

[Shadowen925]

@Showbird88 It is a 2003. The 03's were the last year that the ZX2 was made. they were the only one's with that style bumper. The 98-02 had a different style.

[krazy8tattoos]

@Showbird88 03 was the last year they made zx2's came out in 97

[adinrulez12345]

@eskimochild87 they only made escorts till 2002

[eskimochild87]

@adinrulez12345 no its 03 they redesigned the bumper

[eskimochild87]

[MrDOGTAG11]

[camppen]

[dipthirty11290]

dude that is badass, i wanna do it to mine, never even thought of that

[fordescortracer]

Nice! I hope to do this some day to a 2nd gen escort! I'd go with a twin turbo 454 ci small block, though! LOL! just think an escort running 7's! But 9's aren't bad, considering they only run 15's stock! LOL!

[035577]

I love it!!!!

[wrldwdshipping]

WTF!!! its not really a escort zx2 its been converted to rear wheel drive and doesnt even have same motor.

[Showbird88]

@wrldwdshipping  It has a ZX2 body doesn't it? That makes it a ZX2. I guess you didn't read my discription.

[FFUDDI]
