The Project 7's 575 HP and 0-60 in 3.8 is pretty sweet, but I think the RS will be somewhere in the range of 610-620 HP and a 0-60 in 3.6.

 

Sure... until the AWD comes out.

 

Would it make sense for the RS to be AWD? I seems that the RS should out perform say a V6S with AWD, otherwise it would cannibalize sales.


The project & is a specialty product, so it really doesn't matter is the RS can outperform it, but the RS should be the top dog of the group (minus the future RS-GT).

 

You're talking about 0-60 times. I expect 0-60 times of the AWD versions to be better than that of the RS. Of course the RS will out-perform in all other areas.

 

any idea when the rs or awd versions are due to hit dealer showrooms?

 

Not soon enough, i'm waiting for the AWD and/or manual version to purchase. I would expect next april at the earliest.

 

I don't think you'll ever see a manual... the tranny is the fastest if not fastest auto I've ever owned. I cant shift faster than the ZF tranny... not even close.

 

IMO the AWD will only be available in the V6 models. Although, I would love to see AWD in an RS V8 SC.
