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!

Do You Prefer a Ford or Chevy?

Do You Prefer a Ford or Chevy? This is the age-old question. Ford or Chevy? Ford lovers wouldn’t be caught dead driving a Chevy, and Chevy lovers wouldn’t be caught dead driving a Ford. Fortunately, this type of mindset is falling by the wayside as the new millennial generation is growing. Many of them do not share the rivalry that their fathers and grandfathers shared between these two makes of pickup trucks. This has a lot to do with the fact that there are many other popular makes and models of pickup trucks such as Dodge, Nissan, and Toyota. People have more options now than they did 30 to 40 years ago. This is a good thing because it breaks people from those ingrained stereotypes. So, if you are looking for a great, reliable, but still luxurious truck, look no further. We have the perfect one for you.

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen Since the 80s and through the 90s, movies involving car dealerships shined a negative light on car salesmen and painted a stereotypical picture. These comedic characters came off as shady, sleazy, pushy, and willing to do anything to make the sale. The News Wheel has listed the Top 5 Worst Car Salesmen from Movies and they're some pretty bad ones. Here are my three favorites from the list. Rudy Russo from the 1980 film Used Cars . A young Kurt Russell portrays Rudy Russo, a state Senate hopeful. In order to get a $10,000 campaign investment from used car lot owner Luke Fuchs, Rudy must help him sell some cars to keep his business up and running. While doing so, Rudy uses standard stereotypical used car salesmen techniques like cheesy commercials, fast-talking, and pressure selling. He even baits a customer from a competing lot by using a $10 bill on a fishing line to get the man to cross the street. Joey O’Brien from Cadillac Man . The ...
