Other problem is that the RS is heavier than the Mustang GT by at least 300 lbs, yet doesn't pack any more power.

What's your source on the new V6 in the '10 Mustang? I haven't read that anywhere, only that the 4.0L SOHC V6 stays without modification to keep costs down. IMHO, that plant should be revised to have 3-valve heads like the GT's 4.6L V8. That would likely bring the HP rating up to about 260 or so. This would be a great replacement for Ford's 4.2 L V6 (202 HP) and 2-valve 4.6L V8 (224-250HP) in its trucks and sedans.
Back to the Camaro: I'm thinking, apparently like others here, that if there is an RS Camaro, it will mimic the Mustang's Pony Package: sportier looks and better handling but no increase in HP.
