Nice!!! Only 24 more HP than my '14. That's kinda cool. I do like that color combo as well on the car they drove. Already had it on my R/T so Gotta Have It Green was next up on the color chart for me.

If you always wanted a new one, here is the chance I guess. The price is steep IMO at $54,300 US dollars. That can buy some sweet rides that are newer but these cars are certainly special to the right person.

Oh ya for sure, I think its expensive too. In Canada I wouldnt doubt if it was lowest mileage one, it should be like new. In the US you might be able to find something similar. I think like you say if you always wanted one, its going to be hard to find a nicer one. Ya I agree you could definitely get something newer, its a really nice car though. Cars just sitting can deteriorate, but I imagine it has been stored properly, like in a heated garage. If money isnt an issue and you have a spare $54K laying around...I wouldnt mind owning it

What happens if you dont have the activated track key? Is the performance limited then and you cant overirde it?

I would guess the performance is limited to the non-track key activation without the track key... More than likely, it will require an aftermarket tune to override the stock/non-track key calibration...

Congrats on The Purchase!

I Hope The Red Key Situation Works Out For You! From Our Research We Understood That Was an Option No Longer Serviced. Very Curious Over The Details !

I am no expert, but I had a chance to see these two in person during the MCA Grand National Show. The engine compartment of the white one was trashed...it had leaves, twigs and what I thought was a water line mark. Others that were there looking at the car thought the same...was the vehicle under water? I don't know...

i did not give it a thorough inspection. the water line mark you mention, is it in reference to the blue valve covers' condition?
the link below states "Condition: Never daily-driven, modified or exposed to elements" and "...stored in climate-controlled garage...". wonder how leaves and twigs got in, hmmm. link has a nice video and photos, ck it.

YES!! That's exactly what I saw in person. It looks like a water line to me and others who were there looking at this car...plus, why is there a dirt line across the valve cover level? That's just weird. Only other possible explanation...as I sit here and think about it...is that someone pressure washed the hood liner and all the crap that normally accumulates on the liner dropped to the engine. But, would that make a dirt line like that? It just that, to me, they way that engine compartment looks is a head scratcher. It does sound good tho....
