Yes I know a C5 RS is probably not the best car to do this pass with but I think the brakes will hold out.
DK has mentioned the last weekend of April would be good and it is looking good but that early in May could see a lot of snow on the pass. Eurotunnel short stay saver is £42-£53 outbound and £42-£44 inbound. Leave Fri 29th April - return Tues 03 May (I booked the Tues off long ago).
Accommodation shouldn't be too much of an issue unless you want a locked compound overnight for cars. I ain't that bothered.
Having Stelvio as a main event isn't the safest of plans either. The pass has become very crowded in the last 3 years (I wonder why?). It gets clogged with camper vans motorbikes and cyclists. The pass is also pretty narrow and after the winter the surface may not be that great. It'll be luck of the draw if a clear run (up or down) is achieved. In that light, there are a load of different routes and some nearby tunnels that will be raped by a loud RS or two. There are also a heaps of nice driving roads around the lakes and lesser known passes in the Alps.
Anyone keen?
