The 350HP RS took 19 seconds to reach 120mph/194kph? Maybe not the best run for it in the vid.

Yeah I'm really glad I saved the $$$ and went with the ST over the RS.

Something isn't right there. RS's are doing 13.1 second 1/4 and trapping 106 stock. Possibly still needed the ECU to settle for full boost.

Maybe the guy had a load of concrete bags in the cargo area? I think a stock focus SE could get to 120 around that amount of time. Something's up, too bad we can't see the boost gauge.

possibly not WOT?

Right...AWD and 350hp should've resulted in better 0 - 120mph et.....makes me think either the ST wasn't stock or the RS was down-played.

My 2007 GTI is roughly 330 to 340hp(crank) and 3300 lbs...and does 0 to 120 a bit quicker(vid below)

That thing rips!

Yeah the RS dynos at ~300whp but weighs a little more, but it's still over a second faster to 120 than an STI if I remember correctly.
