The tips site says it also covers 11 and it says:
R/T and SE ESP "Key Tricks"
To completely disable the R/T ESP/Traction Control. While moving at more than 15 mph, you turn the key to START and
hold it for a few seconds until the system chimes. (Don't worry, the starter won't engage). The chimes indicate that the
ESP is now completely disabled until you turn the engine off. This is known as the "key trick."
R/T FULL ESP OFF
Also for anyone wondering what the key trick is, simply hit the ESP button once... you don't need to hold for 10 sec's or
whatever, that doesn't work. Just hit it once like you normally will, the squiggly lines will pop up.
Now start driving and once you get above 15 mph simply turn and hold the key as if your trying to start up the car. Hold
the key in that position for about 5 sec's.
Don't worry your starter won't try to crank over because it already knows the car is running. Now the first thing you'll
notice is that your radio will turn off and back on along with anything plugged into your cigarette lighter like a radar
detector or whatever.
IF you look at your dash you will have Mr. Squiggly. (ESP 1/2 off) and your ABS light (Brake) will be ON. You are now in
total OFF mode. Have fun and be careful as you have no brake assist.
Braking will not be as good as you may have become accustomed to.
So now all your traction control and ESP are fully OFF and you can smoke tires till they turn into drag radials! This is
continued until the vehicle is stopped and IGN OFF/ON and Engine Start cycle is re-initiated
For SE models, all 2010 SE's have ESP, it's the 2009's without the popular option package that don't.
NOTE:
With the "Super Track Pak" on the R/T J or R/T Classic, no "key trick" is needed to get full off ESP.
While in PARK, press and hold ESP off button until the system chimes.
but it says the extended EVIC page is there and it isn't so I'm not sure on 11s

Actually, the BAS (brake assist) is the light that is on. The ABS (anti-lock brake system) is still operational.

I have a 2011 SE and I cant get the key trick or even the throttle calibration to work. I tried with the push start and with key. To see if the throttle calibration was working I purposely messed it up by starting with the throttle already half down and ending half down and it responded exactly the same. I also noticed the steering wheel controls and evic program were different as well.

It didn't work on my 2011 RT either. I haven't heard any '11 owners on here saying they got it to work. (I hope I am wrong and just doing the trick incorrectly). As for the EVIC, that DOES work.
On the "compass screen" hold the "UP" arrow for about 10+ seconds, then immediately hold the "DOWN" arrow until it goes into the extended menu. I don't know how to get OUT of the extended menu except for shutting the car off though.

Thanks. This works like a charm. The 0-60 timer is awesome. But ya, it looks like they left the key trick off the 2011 challenger SE. Now our only hope is a tuner, or the small chance dodge just changed the process to fully turn off esp and traction control.
