I have a supercharged jet ski and it has two keys, a "learner" and an "unlimited". While I fully appreciate Dodge can't make the Viper "idiot" proof, does the idea of two keys make sense? Is it feasible or too complicated in view of sophistication of engine management systems and emissions requirements?
Again, thanks for building a great car that I truly enjoy!
The old ZR1 (1994) had a valet key... but later dropped it. Some of the concerns we would have in implementing one were likely shared.

The Segway has two speed cards as well...
