This debate is stupid. Out of 2 slow cars, the focus st is a bit faster... It really doesn't matter much. The biggest difference between the two cars feel IMO (power wise) would be the ST has a lot more low end torque than the fr-s, but the fr-s being lighter probably feels a little more "springy"/"quick". (I haven't test drove the st so not sure...)

Just wanted to stop this from dragging on any more...
Yeah the Ford Focus ST does have a lot of low end torque. I think they are both as fast as each other. If the ST was RWD, it would be t least half a second faster than the BRZ for sure.
