Novel feature on a new Dodge Challenger!
I was just reading an article on the all-new 600-plus horsepower 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, and found this...
"Interestingly, the Challenger SRT Hellcat gets two individual keys: One in black for reduced output and another red one to unleash the full 600-plus-horsepower output...valet mode for both variants that, among other things, limits power..." WOW! Imagine: an automaker using a key-based system to provide 2 distinct engine output levels, so you'll feel safe leaving your high-horsepower car with a lot attendant. Clever bastards! What will they think of next? =D> |

Re: Novel feature on a new Dodge Challenger!
Yeah I bet that will be one BAD ride.....
 Wife has the 375hp Hemi in her 300C and that thing is pretty quick. Can't imagine another 225 in a lighter car.. Of course I can't imagine that much in one of these Vettes either

Re: Novel feature on a new Dodge Challenger!
I though about that when I read the article earlier today.
Is the ZR-1 the first car produced by any manufacture to have a valet key to limit engine output?

The last Boss 302 (2012?) also had two separate keys. I think they were red and black.

Re: Novel feature on a new Dodge Challenger!
Shelby Cobra GT500 662hp.....11.8 @125
Thats alot of HP to just be breaking into the 11s ZL1.... At the dragstrip, the 4405-pound Camaro ZL1 convertible automatic hit 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and finished the quarter mile in 12.5 seconds at 114.3 mph. In comparison, the 354-pound-lighter ZL1 coupe with a six-speed manual sprinted to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and finished the quarter mile in 12.1 seconds at 117.4 mph.
