Jase I came from an ST to a Seat, and my ST was stage two, and even with that it was so slow to launch, the all up weight of the mooing and burbling ST is its down fall. My Mk1 stage 1 RS Focus was quicker in the sprint than my fully macced out ST. At the end of the day the ST and the RS Mk2 family weigh a ton
My neighbour is in constant battle with me with his ginga ninja ST being oh so quicker than the Bocanegra. (And its not) Hes going to have a litter of kittens when the Supercopa turns up.
Have to say the ST always felt... SOLID and that is what it is a solid heavy car. Very nice but a big ole beastie
