that is one slow 197 hp, 2500 lbs car my pre-Fiesta 124 hp, 2400 lbs car ran 16.2 in the quarter mile. but seriously the specs listed in that article have the specs wrong. The Fiesta ST curb weight is 2742 lbs. A non-ST Fiesta is 2537 lbs. Also the Fiesta ST compression ratio is 10.0 to 1, not 10.5

the enhanced torque vectoring control should not affect acceleration in a straight line.
"
Enhanced torque vectoring control is
comprised of two elements:
• Torque vectoring control which applies
brake torque on the inner wheel in a
curve for better traction and less
understeer
• Cornering understeer control which
controls the yaw response of the
vehicle under braking and acceleration
on high and low friction surfaces.
No action is required to activate torque
vectoring control. It operates automatically
due to vehicle operating conditions.
Unlike electronic stability control,
enhanced torque vectoring control does
not slow the vehicle but does help control
excessive wheel slip and gives the vehicle
cornering agility. The system only increases
performance. Because of this, enhanced
torque vectoring control is not disabled
when the AdvanceTrac system is off."

Went to a different drag strip... I suspect the trap speeds were not measured correctly.
