ST kerb weight 1392kg

Difference of 70kg or so, basically like having a passenger sitting in the RS constantly. Can somebody post the mag results please as I don't have it? Times and figures quoted for each car. Thank you, please.
Why would you assume that?

70KG is plenty enough difference to make a marginal difference in times, given we almost know the mountune conversion pumps out more than 260 bhp, the in gear times above 100 show the RS power advantage


And why is everyone ignoring the fact its only a straightline test on a runway and even EVO who did the fugging testing wouldnt say the ST is a match for the RS as a road car!???!?!?!
