Don’t other security systems restrict the horsepower to ZERO?
I don’t see the point?

They do, as does Dodge, but the cars still get stolen, no matter who makes them, and what security features they have.
I’m guessing this is going to be a supplemental system, kinda like “The Club”, where you input the code before getting out of the car, so if the car does get stolen, it will be a slow getaway.

It's going to be just like the old Keystone cops movies.

Some tuner has already developed a hack to bypass the program. It was a good idea while it lasted for five minutes.;)

I'm convinced these dodges / lexuses/toyotas ive been hearing about are easily stolen because of the stupid technology driven push remote pushstart junk..completely takes away the fun of starting the car up with a good old fashioned key...
