The Key That Will Get You in Trouble

The 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat have been on the market for a year now and thousands of units have been sold. There’s a big reason these bad boys are ‘driving’ off the shelves, with 707 Hp and 650 lb-ft just under $60,000. But if you have ever come across an SRT Hellcat owner, you may have noticed that they either use a black key or red key to start up their car. There’s a reason. This two-key system generates a 207 horsepower difference; the black key which limits the power to 500 horsepower and the red key which unlocks the full 707 horsepower potential.

According to Drive SRT, “When the red key is in use, the full potential of the 707 horsepower SRT Hellcat engine is in full effect. To dispel some misconceptions, the only performance restriction that results from use of the Black key is limiting the horsepower output to 500.”

Think about it, that’s 707 horsepower in a family Sedan basically. What is a family going to do with all that? But it’s still an easy drive. You can take it down a notch if you’re dropping the kids off in the morning. Or if a loved one is taking it to the store and you know they can’t handle all those horses.

Oh yeah, there’s even a valet mode for those you don’t trust with your vehicle (someone you don’t know or the valet dude). The valet mode will limit the power to 300 horsepower and RPM’s to below 4000 RPM. Dodge is looking out for ya!

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America Over the years, Route 66 has provided travelers, dreamers, and renegades with an experience no other route can give. Established November 11, 1926, covered 2,448 miles and originally ran through eight states starting from Chicago, Ill to Santa Monica, CA and quickly began to be one of the most popular highways in America. It soon became known by other names such as The Mother Road, Will Rogers Highway, and was spotlighted in John Steinbeck’s classic novel The Grapes of Wrath. When The Great Depression hit in 1929 over 200,000 traveled to Californa seeking reprieve from The Dust Bowl and used The Mother Road to escape. Some traveled west with the promise of work. With barren land surrounding them, farmers and their families gathered essentials and traveled west in hopes of work. Towns, mom and pop businesses, and service stations along the highway survived The Great Depression by catering to travelers with supplies, fuel, and car parts. Res...

Williams Group Auto - Seatbelt Statistics | Used Car Dealership in Abilene

The Importance of Wearing Your Seatbelt When doing our research into buying a new vehicle, we shop around, go for a test drive, look into the car's history, find repair records, and other countless things. A few other things we look for might not be as important in the purchase process but more of a personal preference, such as color, whether it has Bluetooth, a sunroof, and so on. Either way, it is safe to say that we all want the same thing, to feel safe in our vehicle. When it comes to our safety, seat belts are one of the most important devices.
