Through its Direct Connection performance parts brand, Dodge has introduced a new theft deterrent device for the Hemi-powered muscle cars it no longer produces. The obvious question is why such protection was not offered four years ago when Hellcats were prime targets for thieves.
Better late than never, the device aims to safeguard the prized V8 machines that remain hot commodities among criminals. For owners of these increasingly rare cars, the added security is a welcome, if overdue, layer of defense.
