http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_RS200 Read up

For a standard production car, the fastest road-tested acceleration reported at the time occurred in 1993, when a Ford RS200 Evolution went from zero to 26.8 m/s (60 mi/h) in 3.275 seconds. Two separate RS200s have both reported 0-100km/h times of 2.1 seconds

These cars launch so much harder then a DSM

Well from what I know, the Evolution model was limited edition, something like 24 of them were made. They make like 600hp on a modded cosworth motor. That doesnt sound like a standard production car to me. Its kind of unfair to compare it based on that.

newsflash, an RS200 is not a Cosworth Escort. Its a completely separate Group B rallycar. Its even got a mid-mounted motor and a fucking space frame!
