[QUOTE=daveyfx]I had a 2000 ZX2, which I guess is not much of an Escort but it does share the namesake with the rest of them. Out of the box it was not that quick but after installing a Weapon-R intake, Kamikaze header, 2.5" custom exhaust, solid transmission mounts, underdrive pullies, Gude "big bore" throttle body, and a DiabloSport chip I ended up running a best of 15.02 with a pretty lousy 60 foot.


That is a perfect example of why not to modify an escort, or why people make fun of them. With most cars after that, they tend to break the 15 sec barrier, but its your car and do what you want, just be prepared to take the shit thats gonna get handed out.
