Bored Experiments on my way to and from school...
Alright guys not sure if this was posted yet...
I was talking to my buddy the other day, he,s got an 08 charger RT. He was telling me about this little trick to turn off his traction, stability, and other electronic bs. He told me he holds the key in the start position for about 5 seconds while rolling (no need to worry about the starter engaging on the new cars) For him all his traction, abs, stability lights come one. The engine still runs no problem. However all of the electronics are off...
Once i heard this i had to try it...unfortunately it doesnt seem to do the same thing. If i hold it and let go after 5 seconds everything goes back to normal unlike his. However after messing around i think i came up with something..
So on my 4 hour drive to and from school i decided to give it a shot... First test was top speed...brought it up to 105 when the limiter kicks in then turned and held the key. Put the pedal to the floor and took her to 120.
First Test- Passed
Then once at school i decided to try a burnout test...you guys guessed it...worked like a charm.
Didnt really try to much else yet but i will shortly.
So some of you might appreciate this and others might not but I felt i should share it.
Keep in mind you have to hold the key to the crank position.

This was discussed not too long ago in a thread and we all settled that it disabled TC. However no one tested the top speed limiter to see if it would disable. Did it hit 120 quickly or did it struggle?
I wish I had a place to do a test like that.
You need to post a vid of this 120 run! One hand on the key and the other hand controlling the wheel while aiming a camera at the speedometer

This is actually a pretty handy feature, I have used it a couple of times since I found out about it. The esp off button does nothing for mine so for the short time I need it off I just hold the key. No way would I buy a tuner just to turn off tc or turn off speed limiter when those features are only needed for a few seconds usually.
