S/R is Ford's answer to the Neon ACR.

S/R was a performance package that was offered first in 1999 on 110 ZX2's in California (all zinc yellow - first Ford car to get this color), and 2000 were made in 2000 thru US and Canada (yellow, black, red).

The package was a co-op with the performance aftermarket (SEMA) and Ford.

Ford recruited Roush, Energy Suspension, Centerforce, Visteon, B&M, Borla, to source parts to make a "street / racer" version. It wasn't called a SVT vehicle because this one was done thru the small car group within Ford, and not thru SVT.

The package made for 143hp, 15.9 sec 1/4, and .89g skidpad. The option added $1395 to the sticker.

Hmmm...so now I know what the S/R means.... There is a guy running around town in one of them....I dont think I have ever seen him at the local track, but if I do, at least I know what his car should be capable of....

my friend has a 2000 s/r....where is your s/r sticker? and your special s/r rims!

Your friend has a 2000 S/R (1 of 2000 sold)... it has stickers on the doors, an Iceman intake, all the energy suspernsion bushings installed on the car, a 5 spd shift pattern on the shift knob, a stock lower airbox minus the resonator, and multi holed 15" rims (leftover merc tracer rims). I have a 1999, it was sold only in So Cal (only 110 units sold) and has a Roush intake, the energy susp bushings were installed only on the sway bars and front engine mounts - the balance came in a trunk kit "for off road use only", a carbon fiber/leather shift knob w/ a small shift pattern plate (a recall item) on the console, a Roush modified lower airbox, and 7 spoke 15" rims (leftover 96 Escort GT rims)

Hope that clears it up.
