Here is an article from Car and Driver on the subject:

Sorry it took so long to replay...Yes, I'm a new member there, I've only owened the RT/TT for a little over a month. I punched it once, got it up to 130 in no time...damn that thing is fast. My SVT just doesn't seem as quite as fast anymore...
