I can't stand the mentality here....the CTR...actually, all these hot hatches, their strong points were never just straight line speed, it is more meaningful to see how fast they go around a track and comparing those times is more appropriate of these beasts.
the target audience will most likely drag at a stop light at least once during their ownership....... so this is somewhat relevent... i guess...

and yes.... track test has proven, the CTR is the fastest among the competition (STi, EVO X, Focus RS and Golf R)....

As for the RS3 and AMG... I am sure they are faster... but lets be real here... if you got the coin for those 2, you are not going to cross shop for the CTR and the rest... you will probably cross shop a used C63/M3... and worry abt warranty... or die-hard wanting the new car smell...
