I was too when I test drove one. I had my Mondeo ST TDCi (RR'ed @ 160bhp / 300ft.lb standard) and I didnt think that the Focus ST was quicker, actually thought it was slower. Then I looked at the speedo. Aaaahhhhh no. I was quicker, a lot quicker. The boost in the Focus is in 2 stages I think where the Mondeo its all at 1750rpm. The Mondeo would push you right to the back of the seat where the Focus doesnt, its more relentless.
