No issues. Your gas mileage suffers, and I note some pine on 93 octane under WOT at lower RPMs.

Only if you don't like using it in traffic.

I sure hope the stupid idle can be turned off because you guys will just look dumb driving around with that.

Don't freak out 11Shelby, the " stupid idle " is easily defeated while keeping all other parameters intact

I find the throttle tip in and engine braking to aggressive for the daily commute. Weekend driving is another story

As much as it suits my nature to only use the red key, it does make the car suck down gas. So depending on the situation I'll switch back to the Clark Kent key.

Only issue with Red key is that I could imagine on a daily driver it might get old, as it is so much more jolting with throttle response and engine braking, and you are forced into 91+ octane, even though I put in 93 no matter what key I use.
