Default 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>

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

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?

Don't know for sure, but I do remember that feature - among many others - being spoken about by all the rags as revolutionary at the time of the Z's intro.

The car will have 707 'certified' HP.

It's still going to be a pig. Those things weigh over 4000 lbs. with the Hemi. Nice looking pigs but they need to seriously go on a diet.

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

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.
