A couple of things to keep in mind:
1) The Focus ST is pretty heavy at 3250 lbs (GTI is 3113 lbs, FR-S is 2758 lbs by comparison).
2) The Focus ST engine loses a fair amount of power as it warms up (puts down 235 whp at 185 F, 216 whp at 202 F).
Explains why it's barely any faster than a GTI which puts down 202 whp stock at temp.
