==S/R Performance Package==
Equipment included in all S/R models:
*Rear disc brakes
*Remapped computer
*Borla axle-back exhaust
*B&M short-throw shifter
*Eibach lowering springs with custom-valved Tokico struts
*Centerforce dual-friction clutch and pressure plate
*Silver face gauges and 150 mph speedometer
*Available only with the 5-speed manual transmission

1999: 110 made, only in Zinc Yellow. Equipped with intake by Roush, 7-spoke wheels as found on the later second-generation [[Ford Escort|Escort GT]], and a leather/carbon fiber shift knob.

2000: 2000 made, 1000 in yellow, 500 in red, 500 in black. Roush intake replaced by Iceman, wheels changed to the daisies as found on its contemporary Mercury Tracer, shift knob replaced by a leather one without carbon fiber.

From the Ford press release:
The increased presence and success of tuner models from overseas in the late 90s caused Ford to create their own performance model, the ZX2 S/R. Meant to compete with cheap factory performance compacts such as the Honda Civic Si or the Dodge Neon ACR, Ford created the ZX2 S/R to show that they had plenty to bring to the table. Its initial debut was at SEMA's Import Auto Salon in Pomona in 1999. The ZX2 S/R was the first product jointly developed by Ford Racing and Ford Motor Company's Small Vehicle Center Product Development.

Ford's final limited production count was 2,110 units, consisting of 110 yellow S/Rs in 1999, the first two of which were sold in Columbus, Ohio, and the other 108 in southern California, and in 2000, 500 black, 500 red and 1,000 yellow S/Rs for an upgrade price of $1,500 both years. It is believed that only 35 of those 2000 S/Rs were sold in Canada, making it a very rare trim there. The ZX2 S/R also led to inspiration in the British sector of Ford and was laterally built in Europe as the Ford Puma, Top Gear's car of the year in 2002.

The optional S/R package adds stiffer suspension parts (Eibach springs (M-5560-Z2), Tokico struts (M-18000-Z2) and Energy Suspension brand polyurethane suspension bushings), more power (through a Ford Racing PCM (M-12650-Z2)), more efficient intake (Roush and Iceman), rear disc brakes (M-2300-Z2), a stronger clutch (Centerforce dual friction (M-7560-Z2), a short-throw B&M manual-transmission shifter (M-7210-Z2), an S/R-unique shift knob (M-7213-Z2) and boot (M-7277-Z2), upgraded seats, a unique blue valve cover, a different speed cluster that goes up to 150 mph (240 km/h) and a unique tire/wheel package. Engine power was increased 10 percent over the base Zetec engine used in the ZX2 to 143 bhp, courtesy of a recommended premium fuel re-calibration, new air inlet system, the performance PCM, improved Borla muffler and pipe (M-5230-Z2). All ZX2 S/R have a special "S/R" badge on the back, either silver (on a red car) or red (on a yellow or black car). Some S/R went out of the assembly plant without some of the performance missing the Centerforce clutch). The suspension bushings were not installed at the factory but instead packaged with the car for installation at the dealership. This also led to many cars leaving the showroom without the full complement of S/R parts

===First Generation/Origins (1998–2003)===
The Escort ZX2 was launched 1998, one year after the third-generation Escort sedan and wagon. The ZX2 had the Zetec-family 2.0L engine similar to the one found in the larger [[Ford Contour|Ford Contour]] and [[Mercury Mystique|Mercury Mystique]] rather than the SOHC engine in the other Escorts.

Mid-way through the 1999 model year, Ford changed the transmission gearing to provide better fuel economy. Other changes that accompanied the new transmission included a MAF sensor that incorporated a sensor for air temperature and a new style valve cover.

The Escort name was dropped in 2000 when Ford introduced the Focus, the car meant to replace the Escort. While Escort sedans and wagons were no longer sold except to fleets, the Ford ZX2 was still available at dealerships until 2003.

The ZX2 got its first and only facelift in 2003. The front fascia was redesigned, and the wheels were changed to ones that look more like the Focus wheels of the time. The rest of the car remained the same.

==Worldwide==
The North American version of the Ford Escort is completely different than the European and South American versions. Like the rest of the Escort line, the ZX2 was only sold in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

==Design quirks and oddities==
Refer to any pop-culture tidbits about the [[Automobile|vehicle]] in this section.

==Awards==
List out notable ''awards'' that the model has recieved while in production. '''Boldface''' the company or orgainization that gives out the award, and ''Italicize'' the name of the award.

==Unique Attributes==
Though Ford's Zetec engine family was used in many other cars, the ZX2 was the only U.S. car to get this engine equipped with Variable Camshaft Timing, or VCT. This feature adjusts the timing of the exhaust camshaft to produce more overlap at higher RPMs. This feature, common to many European Ford cars with smaller displacement Zetec engines, eliminated the need for an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system in the ZX2 thanks to its ability to increase valve overlap.

===First Generation/Origins (1998–2003)===
The Escort ZX2 was launched 1998, one year after the third-generation Escort sedan and wagon. The ZX2 had the Zetec-family 2.0L engine similar to the one found in the larger [[Ford Contour|Ford Contour]] and [[Mercury Mystique|Mercury Mystique]] rather than the SOHC engine in the other Escorts.

Mid-way through the 1999 model year, Ford changed the transmission gearing to provide better fuel economy. Other changes that accompanied the new transmission included a MAF sensor that incorporated a sensor for air temperature and a new style valve cover.

The Escort name was dropped in 2000 when Ford introduced the Focus, the car meant to replace the Escort. While Escort sedans and wagons were no longer sold except to fleets, the Ford ZX2 was still available at dealerships until 2003.

The ZX2 got its first and only facelift in 2003. The front fascia was redesigned, and the wheels were changed to ones that look more like the Focus wheels of the time. The rest of the car remained the same.

==Worldwide==
The North American version of the Ford Escort is completely different than the European and South American versions. Like the rest of the Escort line, the ZX2 was only sold in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

==Design quirks and oddities==
Refer to any pop-culture tidbits about the [[Automobile|vehicle]] in this section.

==Awards==
List out notable ''awards'' that the model has recieved while in production. '''Boldface''' the company or orgainization that gives out the award, and ''Italicize'' the name of the award.

===First Generation/Origins (1998–2003)===
The Escort ZX2 was launched 1998, one year after the third-generation Escort sedan and wagon. The ZX2 had the Zetec-family 2.0L engine similar to the one found in the larger [[Ford Contour|Ford Contour]] and [[Mercury Mystique|Mercury Mystique]]rather than the SOHC engine in the other Escorts.

Mid-way through the 1999 model year, Ford changed the transmission gearing to provide better fuel economy. Other changes that accompanied the new transmission included a MAF sensor that incorporated a sensor for air temperature and a new style valve cover.

The Escort name was dropped in 2000 when Ford introduced the Focus, the car meant to replace the Escort. While Escort sedans and wagons were no longer sold except to fleets, the Ford ZX2 was still available at dealerships until 2003.

The ZX2 got its first and only facelift in 2003. The front fascia was redesigned, and the wheels were changed to ones that look more like the Focus wheels of the time. The rest of the car remained the same.

==S/R Performance Package==
Equipment included in all S/R models:
*Rear disc brakes
*Remapped computer
*Borla axle-back exhaust
*B&M short-throw shifter
*Eibach lowering springs with custom-valved Tokico struts
*Centerforce dual-friction clutch and pressure plate
*Silver face gauges and 150 mph speedometer
*Available only with the 5-speed manual transmission

1999: 110 made, only in Zinc Yellow. Equipped with intake by Roush, 7-spoke wheels as found on the later second-generation [[Ford Escort|Escort GT]], and a leather/carbon fiber shift knob.

2000: 2000 made, 1000 in yellow, 500 in red, 500 in black. Roush intake replaced by Iceman, wheels changed to the daisies as found on its contemporary Mercury Tracer, shift knob replaced by a leather one without carbon fiber.

==Unique Attributes==
Though Ford's Zetec engine family was used in many other cars, the ZX2 was the only U.S. car to get this engine equipped with Variable Camshaft Timing, or VCT. This feature adjusts the timing of the exhaust camshaft to produce more overlap at higher RPMs. This feature, common to many European Ford cars with smaller displacement Zetec engines, eliminated the need for an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system in the ZX2 thanks to its ability to increase valve overlap.

==Interior==
This section should include information on the interior's ''design'', ''build quality'', ''ergonomics'', ''space (head and legroom, front and rear)'', ''features'', ''stowage compartments'' and ''overall comfort'' and ''livability''. Add pictures wherever applicable and '''''keep information in a third-person point of view'''''.

Though Ford's Zetec engine family was used in many other cars, the ZX2 was the only U.S. car to get this engine equipped with Variable Camshaft Timing, or VCT. This feature adjusts the timing of the exhaust camshaft to produce more overlap at higher RPMs. This feature, common to many European Ford cars with smaller displacement Zetec engines, eliminated the need for an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system in the ZX2 thanks to its ability to increase valve overlap.

==S/R Performance Package==
Details about S/R package. Rear discs, remapped computer, Borla muffler, B&M short-throw shifter, Eibach lowering springs with custom-valved Tokico struts, Centerforce dual-friction clutch, silver face gauges and 150 mph speedometer. Available only with the 5-speed manual transmission.

1999: 500 made, only in Zinc Yellow. Featured intake by Roush, 7-spoke wheels as found on the later versions of the Escort GT, and a carbon fiber shift knob.

2000: 2000 made, 1000 in yellow, 500 in red, 500 in black. Roush intake replaced by Iceman, wheels changed to the daisies as found on its contemporary Mercury Tracer, shift knob changed to one made of more common materials.

==Unique Attributes==
Though Ford's Zetec engine family was used in many other cars, the ZX2 was the only U.S. car to get this engine equipped with Variable Camshaft Timing, or VCT. This feature adjusted the timing of the exhaust camshaft to produce more overlap at higher RPMs. This feature, common to many European Fords with smaller displacements, eliminated the need for an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system in the ZX2.

1999: 500 made, only in Zinc Yellow. Featured intake by Roush, 7-spoke wheels as found on the later versions of the Escort GT, and a carbon fiber shift knob.

2000: 2000 made, 1000 in yellow, 500 in red, 500 in black. Roush intake replaced by Iceman, wheels changed to the daisies as found on its contemporary Mercury Tracer, shift knob changed to one made of more common materials.

==Unique Attributes==
Though Ford's Zetec engine family was used in many other cars, the ZX2 was the only U.S. car to get this engine equipped with Variable Camshaft Timing, or VCT. This feature adjusted the timing of the exhaust camshaft to produce more overlap at higher RPMs. This feature, common to many European Fords with smaller displacements, eliminated the need for an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system.

===Recent Changes===
*The Escort name was dropped in 2000 when Ford introduced the Focus, the car meant to replace the Escort. While Escort sedans and wagons were no longer sold except to fleets, the Ford ZX2 was available at dealerships until 2003.

*The ZX2 got its first and only facelift and a new pair of "shoes" in 2003. The only differences were the wheels and front fascia.

Though Ford's Zetec engine family was used in many other cars, the ZX2 was the only U.S. car to get this engine equipped with Variable Camshaft Timing, or VCT.

Though Ford's 2.0-liter ZETEC engine was used in several other cars (including its replacement Focus, the Contour/Mystique, and the Escape SUV), the ZX2 was the only car to get this engine equipped with Variable Camshaft Timing, or VCT. This feature adjusted the timing of the exhaust camshaft to produce more overlap at higher RPMs. This feature made the car's exhaust gases cleaner, which eliminated the need for an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system.
