the Roush Fusion ZX2 stomped the stangs in autocross times but it was never produced
Ford mentality was why build a 25,000 zx2 that will beat our 35,00 stang cobra

i guess if resale is your only worry then fine. but noone who has 50k to drop on a car thats that old can be that worried about resale.

That car is all about the investment. plain and simple.

been on the zx2 boards for 6 years so i know quite a bit... we were specificaly talking about the s/r... and the s/r is not a cobra r period

as far as the prototype roush zx2s i agree, from what i've heard they would have been pretty damn sweet... from the rumored numbers they were running as fast, if not faster than the mustang gt... i say rumored because no one has any actual test data to back this up from the 2 know prototypes

on paper, yes the s/r could be a collectors item... but it hasn't happened... the cobra r of any of the 3 years is a very sought after car and, as is the case with this one, can fetch more than when it was on the showroom floor

typically the s/r sells for no more than $1500 over a standard zx2 with comparable miles of the same year
