    The full throttle reset fixed the issue. No more SES light. Thanks guys!

    My 08 has check engine light but not codes!

    The check engine light came on. Car runs fine. Went to Autozone and hooked an OBDII scanner to it and no codes came up. Tried another friends OBDII scanner and no codes come up either. What could cause the check engine light to come on and no code come up in a scanner?

    Adaptor pedals for large feet ??

    Is surgery is out of the question? :lmao: In all seriousness I am a size 13 and am tempted to drive barefooted. So I can only imagine a size 15 :omg: There isn't much room in the footwell so I don't see much to work with there. If I could get the clutch pedal to move over 1/2" I'd be happier...

    Race of a life time : Two Enzo took me in Sandwich !

    Not to knock you, but I think the Enzo's beat the driver not the car. With equal drivers and driving 100% I think it would be a lot closer than getting lapped every 3 laps. :D But I am assuming it was all in good fun. I don't think I would want to push a Viper too far and risk crashing...

    dodge dyno's every viper

    I'd dyno mine with you too if I lived closer. I have 1100 miles on mine now. Of course 950 of it was driving it home from Woodhouse Dodge. Mine sticks like glue and doesn't break traction either in 1st or 2nd. By reading all the posts where folks are loosing control and crashing I just...

    Is my 08 Viper down on power?

    Thanks for all the info. It was 90 degrees out this weekend and the asphalt was nice and hot. You can indeed roll it to the floor in 1st. I am shocked at how well the tires grip. Yes, they spin if you shock them. The car is not as squirrelly as I was expecting. I bet it would be much more...

    Is my 08 Viper down on power?

    HA-HA some funny replies there. Yeah the car has over 1000 miles now. No check engine light. No I didn't have a re-flash. How do you know if you need one? I thought the check engine light came on for those needing a re-flash. I thought about taking it to a dyno but wanted to see if other...

    Is my 08 Viper down on power?

    I was running 40 in 2nd gear and punched it. Not real fast just rolled it to the floor expecting wheelspin. But it didn't spin and didn't seem to accelerate like you would expect a 600HP car to. So I tried again from 40 and stab it pretty fast and still the same thing...ran it up to 6K in 2nd...

    New Wheels for the Viper

    I really love the wheels on your car. The gray center and polished lip looks understated and tough. I really like that look.

    We Need Pics From Woodhouse

    I gotta say the more pics I see of the new 08 colors the more I like them all. Dodge really did good on the new colors. I just wish they would have had actual pictures of all of the cars in the various colors on the dodge site instead of the awful flash pics they have. A car like the Viper...

    We Need Pics From Woodhouse

    Dam I wish I would have gotten the Violet but was too afraid it would look like the purple Vette's and T/A's of the 90s. For those familiar with Ford's...it kind of looks like the old Sonic Blue Lightning and Cobra color (kind of bluish head on and a purplish hue at a shallower angles). If I...

    Viper Very Orange Pearl Coat Coupe (pics)

    Austin's photo of the orange/black coupe looks great. I almost ordered and orange coupe with black stripes but chickened out and got red with black stripes (to be on the safe side). Predictably I like the black coupe with red stripes too but, black is too high maintenance for me. But looks...

    YET another 08 issue

    Sorry to hear about your misfortunes. Not having seen the convertible I don't have a clue. I have a coupe. Hope you have a dealer you trust.

    SSGC with Charcol wheels

    I like fixumm's avatar picture more :-) The black wheels look no better that the stockers to me. No worse either. In my eye it is no improvement aesthetically. The interior is way too bling bling for me. But to each his own.

    Red coupe around pole

    Here are some pictures of my toys. I am going to take a nicer quality pic of my bike and my buddies chopper and the Viper soon.

    Red coupe around pole

    I don't understand how folks are wrecking this car so quickly. A car with 600HP need some serious restraint when you push the gas pedal. Ride a liter bike and you'll either get killed or learn restraint. Same with a high HP car. I don't care what kind of transmission/rear end combo you...

    Thanks for all the props on the car. I will be joining the AL Viper club. I will take some better pics of the car this weekend too when I get a break from work.

    Just got new Viper coupe and have question

    I live in Birmingham, AL. The Z06 I had was also drive by wire. It had some weird issues too. But revved real quick even with small inputs in the go pedal. However, it refused to do burnouts...which is a pain when you want to warm up drag radials for the occasional track day. I only noticed...

    Just got new Viper coupe and have question

    Picked up my 08 Viper Red Viper Coupe with black stripes from Woodhouse last Friday. Would post pics but I don't think a new member can do that. I have had a lot of sport cars and muscle cars over the years. Corvettes, Z06, Z28, SS, Cobras, Trans Ams etc. Always wanted a Viper but never...
