I've always wondered.... In the LX cars the 5.7 Hemi cars can have their traction control reduced roughly 50% by turning it off on the dash. The 6.1 Hemi SRT cars can FURTHER deactivate their traction control by pushing the button in and holding it, something like 10 seconds. It reduces traction control by roughly 95% I am told. If this is true, is it the same for the Challengers? What traction setting are you guys launching at in the SRT8 cars? My buddy has gone 12.93 @ 107.75 mph in a stock 300 SRT8, he did that with traction control knocked off 50%. He knocked it off to 95% and most of his runs were in the 15s....

I don't think the stick cars have the ESP at all. I am sure somebody can confirm.

To completely bypass the traction control on an RT you have to hold the key (as if you are trying to start the car) until the chime (just a few seconds) while driving >10 mph (Simply hitting the ESP butting only partially deactivates it), then its good until the car is turned off. The procedure needs to be repeated with every start if you wish to keep the traction control disingaged.
I read where this makes the car peg leg since the auto's have an electronic type posi (for lack of better words), however mine left two equal black patches when I tried it.
The 6 speeds do not have to do this procedure nor the the SRT auto's. Only the Rt auto's.

I think I heard that's only good for certain year LX cars, late 2006 and up? Is that true?
We have a 2006 R/T and it doesn't work on our car! (Ask me how I know! )
Funny....I read it on a Charger forum and tried it on my Challenger and it works fine. I dont understand why they would make on the RT auto with the partial bypass anyhow...but at least there's the procedure to bypass it until the tuner becomes available.

Nothing short of a disappointment when you have stock 300C's in the 12's!

Ther only 300C's running high 12's stock are the STR8's (426 HP)...and that is extremely rare. I maintain the Challengers (SRT8's)will run 12's once people actually get them to the track more and get familiar with launching them. I ran 13.12 with the 370 HP 5.7.
