The PP # is pretty sexy but would only come into play if you live in the polar regions or on the dark side of the moon. We need best flow properties at more moderate temps...say between 0F to maybe -14F.

I was also thinking of trying it this winter, but it is only 6 cSt thinner than the 5w30 @ 40*C, albeit a ~ 27*F lower pour point.
Having never seen less than -10*F here, I think I will stick with the 5w30, and not worry about any VIIs or PPDs what so ever (just one of the reasons I buy this exorbitantly priced stuff for in the first place!!)
oh-dub-thirty definately makes the subzero starts easier--lately between 0 and 10F starting has not been noticably different from typical 65F starts. Sweet.
Gonna try the Redline in the garage queen Camaro next week. I think I will top off the wifes Kia with some too when I change the filter. A mix of P.P. 5w30 and redline 0-30 should be interesting on the cold morning starts since it really attles the first 20 seconds or so
