Anybody else notice this is missing from the 2022 options page that was available for the 2021 cars?

Doesn’t matter it comes with the car either way, why they ever had that up on there in the first place probably was to fill dead space/or create the illusion of more options, but it definitely was in the right place “no man’s zone” next to the engine heater
It does not “come with it”. Without “it” the Super Stock is limited to a top speed of 168mph. In 21 if you clicked that box you had an unregulated top speed.
‘That option is gone now most likely due to safety regulations of drag radials on all 4 corners.

Did you get as an official statement or just some yahoo at a dealer? source please
Research your 21. If you didn’t click that box you don’t have it. The option is gone for 22.
I wouldn’t say gypped. You’d have a hard time in court with a car that has tires that are not rated for the speed of the car you are selling to the public.
Why didnt the Demon get this option then? Weird, Ive never heard of that option before.
It was never intended to run 168+ down a highway

It was an option for 0$ that made my eyebrows confusingly squint and I really didn’t question it much at the time with it being dodge and all. here’s an old screenshot

If I recall correctly, if you removed the engine controller you were required to have different tires at the time of delivery (no DRs). With the new stages / tunes coming, not sure why they would bother to offer as I am pretty confident you can remove the speed limiter with stage 1 or 2 and put any risk back on the owner and not on the factory.
This is bullcrap. No way did Dodge allow you to specify a Calibration that would be unsafe. UNLESS, when you specified this option, it also came with RedEye tires and wheels. Or, I would beleive this if you clicked on "more info" and it specified in there that the 168MPH limit was eliminated. HoggWash. Don't come back without proof.

I was thumbing through a few past posts on this. On the Challenger SRT forum a member did try to order the 2021 Super Stock without the controller in early 21 (name is rollieman) - I have no idea why it ever showed up as an option to configure it’s terrible usability and causes confusion. His dealer did say they thought if you chose not to have it would come with different tires. After the order SRT sent him this:
“Just got this from Dodge:
The "High Speed Engine Controller" shown as a N/C option for the 2021 Super Stock on the Dodge Build & Price website is actually NOT an option after all, it's standard on all SS models. REF Sales Code NZH. Apparently shown for administrative purposes only.
There's no special wheel & "Y" rated tire package that allows a SS to reach 203 MPG like the Red Eye as some have assumed/hoped it might be.
It's function is to limit top speed @ 168 MPH due to the tire limitation of the factory equipped drag radials.”
Net is as anticipated: no 203mph Super stock from the factory! Just a flawed configuration process from Dodge.

That’s all I was trying to say initially….bump me Ron 👊
OP once again doesn't know what he's talking about. I asked my dealer about this when I ordered. He told me it was automatically included with the super stock, and as others have mentioned it had no reason to be on the you build it site. We didn't specifically order it as an option, but it still shows on my build sheet.
Honestly, I thought the on line configurator was flawed. But if there WAS such a thing, I thought it was a High Speed Controller PROCESSOR (speed). Or it was a HIGH ENGINE SPEED controller. Which is what the car comes with anyways.
Also note: I ordered my 2020 Super Stock in the first hour of the order window. The OWNER of the dealership ordered the car for me over the phone. He called me at 8:05 AM. He INSISTS on going down the line and asking me every option wether I want it or not. Even though I really only wanted ONE option (the rear seat delete group). If he had asked me did I want the High Speed Engine Controller I would have remembered that. Because that would have been the ONLY other option I would have wanted. Of course I would have had to ask him to explain what that was. And NONE of this ever happened. Because it is not an option.
