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!

Another one of those responsibilities is keeping your vehicle clean, inside and out. With so many products and car care advice out there, it can be hard to pick what is right for your vehicle. Below are a few myths and facts that you may have wondered about, such as types of car soap, supplies, and other topics. This or That There might have come a time that you were out of car soap or heard from someone that dish detergent will clean your car. Well, it would CLEAN your vehicle, but dish detergent will actually speed up oxidation on the paint, and it will lead to a degradation of the paint job. A shiny car isn’t necessarily a clean car. To honestly know if your vehicle is clean, you should feel the paint to see if it feels glossy and not coarse. If it feels more like sandpaper, then the car isn’t clean, a...
