John Clor of Ford Performance told me today that he worked on the Cosworth ZX2 project, two cars were produced, one red, one white. According to John the red one beat the Roush Supercharged V8 Mustang in the 1/4 mile with a better time than the Roush Fusion ZX2!
Also according to John, the red car was crushed by Ford, the location and condition of the white one is unknown. I have John’s business card and will try to get him to give the ZX2 community more information about this project.
John Clor before working for Ford was a reporter for Motorweek.
There was a red Ford SVT ZX2 in testing at one point. JohnP, who was a former ford engineer, knew someone who worked on the car. There’s a picture out there somewhere. I also talked to an SVT engineer (he showed me his SVT badge and credentials) once who personally worked on it. He told me that with minor engine work it was beating the Mustang GTs, and he wouldn’t be surprised if Ford killed it for that reason. It never saw the light of day, so I assume that to be true.
I’ve never heard of a Cosworth powered ZX2, though. Cool stuff. Think it’s too late for them to release it?
ENFORD came out with the ORIGINAL120Hp BDA long ago that was developed to fit many racing and rallying classes, so OUR engines probably have received this also, There seems to be a class for every Ford 4 cyl engine, what’s been done for ours? DOES ANYONE HAVE A HOW TO BUILD YOUR 4 VALVE 2L ENGINE? Unfortunately, DR. DAVID VIZARD SEEMS TO HAVE MOVED ON TO BIGGER THINGS
