The problem is you don't understand what we are talking about half the time, nor do we with you.

New Car and Driver article comparing RS, STI and Golf R. The final page of article is posted in last page of thread. The Focus RS acceleration is not much better than the STI.

It's a full second faster 5-60mph and 1.6 seconds faster 0 to 110mph than the STI.

But hey, if you want to cherry pick facts.

Still waiting for some proper track results. Hopefully Randy Pobst or Chris Harris will do a head to head track review.

1/4 mile time is 1/10 of a second and trap speed is 1 mph different. Most people drag race for 1/4 mile not to 110 mph. Thus, the acceleration to me is pretty comparable. The 110 mph difference could be due to driver shifting as the STI's 4th gear ends at 111 MPH (i.e. driver may have shifted gears around 110 mph).

In real life, most people are going to care about the 5-60 MPH acceleration, not the dead-stop acceleration.
