I think it was an American magazine Car and Driver that put the GTi vs ST. They both did 0-60 in 5.9s. Suggesting the GTI is churning out more than quoted.

Never seen a "rolling start" before.  I'm wondering why that would be slower than standing start.  All I can think of is they used launch mode for standing start?
