I'm just waiting for a 2012 Mustang. Maybe I'll get a Boss!

Or maybe you'll be lucky enough to get a hold of this amazing car:

I give the Boss a few months before police are checking to see if you run the red key. They'll even be checking on non-boss models:shakes head:

FWIW I read somewhere that the Red Key was actually emissions legal, so that's not a worry.

Doesn't it change quite a few parameters in the car? (i.e. ignition timing, launch control, rev limiter, etc)

It changes 200 different things.

Is it like the Bugatti's special top speed key?

Sort of. It switches the car into the "race" tune, enables launch control, etc.

It likely is, but it's not tested, so you'd be due for a new inspection if you changed it. Plus most cops are just going to assume it's illegal. It's just something easy and new to write a ticket for.

Well, you won't have an issue if you carry both keys.

Probably not. You never know man.

I've had officers not care about my s2000 (which was pretty much illegal in every way it could be, except it wouldn't serve alcohol to minors), and was ticketed more than once for "suspension modification" when I had LCA's and Koni yellows on my mostly stock Civic. If word of the "red key" gets around, there will be certain officers that will harass people for it.

You'd have to run into an officer that knows of it's existence though.

Red Key means one thing for officers and the state of VA. It's the color Green.

I've had officers harrass me just because my car is blue. :icon14: (or so it feels, at least)

Word gets around. There's been so much media hype about the "red key" that people will have heard of it. And the media has portrayed it as a "race key".

Bingo. Same thing when they ticketed for "cut springs" whenever you lower a car....
