So, I'm going to draw the following conclusions;
The Fiesta's don't handle well with 17s, as the 16s are much more fun, and throwable into corners.
Also, Ford screwed with the Fiesta's dynamics and hence screwed the ST. It could have been so much more of a car. With only 100kg more then the C2 VTS, 17 inch alloys instead of 16s on the C2, much more power from a 2.0L instead of a 1.6L in the C2... the Fiesta ST only managed to get 0.1seconds quicker around a track. It was also 0.85seconds slower then the Polo GTI.
But just to annoy the bunch even more... the Fiesta ST was 3.05seconds slower then a 182 CUP :P
