I don't think you will notice .2 seconds to 60mph in the seat-o-pants meter. Real world says the ST is actually quicker anyway though. 

I noticed it. The one I drove must have been a 2015 because I was still in MA and I test drove it before I bought my 2015 challenger. I am really talking about off the line. The 2015 felt to me like the x5 feels. Instant powe, which is what I expected from the edge ST being an ecoboost. I've got the 265s so I'm not sure I can break the tires loose. I definitely can't just be flooring it. Maybe if I launch with the brakes.

 

I won't tune the car though, probably only have it for another year or so but I don't want to risk any warranty issues (I know, I know, but I'm not going to fight an auto maker in court if they say I voided warranty).

 

I am seriously considering the forscan to turn off auto start stop though. Worst feature on the car.

Running 89 octane in 2020 ST. Major slipping from 2-3 and in/out of 6th. Vibration through the drivetrain,  most notable under light power. Has since new. (15 miles on it then) will post more in another thread.

I signed up to these forums for seeing this post. I recently purchased a '19 Edge ST and am experiencing the same exact symptoms. I've read of a possible software update for shifting, but what I've found strange is the vibration/ hopping felt throughout the drivetrain under light power. Was curious if anyone else had dealt with that.

I believe you get more boost in 1st gear on the 2018 and older 2.7 edges. My 2019 with traction control off chirps tires several times on a run to 60 with stock tune but it wont just spin them though. The stock tires don't make a lot of noise though and with windows up and music playing you might not even notice.
