Just got the car a few hours ago and love it. Although the yellow check engine light came on while driving about 35 mph. Readjusted the gas cap and waiting to see if if resolves the light. Dealer already aware of the light, but said it would take ~6 ignition start and stops for the warning to clear. No noticeable loss of power or change in how the car drives. Will wait and see. Here are a few pictures of the car, #17 of 33.

My check engine light stopped coming on after I replaced the spark plugs (on a Durango) but the error code remains until it is cleared by a visit to Autozone, or disconnecting the battery lead.

If you're really just putting around, kind of taking real easy, maybe lugging it a little...you might get a check engine light for catalytic converter inefficiency. Seen it happen before...I bet it'll turn out to be nothing.

This is Gods way of saying "Drive it like it was meant to be driven!!" :2tu:

Congrats and enjoy,
George

Nice car. Nothing quite like that feeling of driving your new ACR! I bet it looks menacing in person. We need a few more pictures to judge it more thoroughly!

Congrats on the new car! It must be a great feeling.

However, that paint scheme is gonna take some getting used to!

I agree. Not a color scheme for every one, but the car looks great in person. The scheme has definitely grown on me. It will look more "muted" with black wheels, I think. I will rotate to the black set when they come in just to see the difference.

SCS, beautiful Viper! I think that color combo is really great. Yesterday I was at C&C in Irvine and saw 2 new GT-3's that had colored wheels, similar combo to your's. I think the red wheels look much better than going to black.

Everyone else, to see more pictures, go on ebay, Daytona dodge has one and they has a ton of pictures posted.

I definitely like the red, but got a black set for a different look. I will post pictures of the two looks when I can.

Looking forward to those new pics...it's the first thing I thought when I saw your pics, how black wheels would tone it down.

Again, congrats!

Color combo is GREAT! I own a white Porsche GT3RS with red wheels, side mirrors, end plates and graphics, I wouldn't change the look and personally I think you shouldn't either! Whatever you decide she's a beauty, good luck!!!:2tu:

Totally agree. The pictures are good, but the live version is amazing. The number of head turns in 24 hours is off the charts! And Congratulations to you.

I think only three coming to Canada. Im in TO and as far as I know, I'm the only one........car attracts a lot of attention and unfortunately bad apples. Just had the car out the other day and some guy spit blue gum all over the car while I was on the highway. Did not notice it until I got home. I saw him poke his head out the window but I thought he was just admiring the car. Lesson to all........don't leave those car unattended. I for one....will not. :)
