Bottom line, BOB, is that the '08 ( by rumor ) does not offer the same potential for performance that the '06 did. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. The electronics can be figured out. When OBD first came out, shoot fuel injection and computer control for that matter, everyone thought it was the end of the world for modifications, but some one always cracks the computer code. The piston problem is a real physical problem. You just stated that you didn't upgrade to an '08 for that reason alone and you still think it was not a design flaw? You are one of the lucky few that was told before your purchase. I ordered my car as soon as I could after talking with the SRT crew at the Viper vs. Viper showdown and they were saying that they had had the new motor to well over the 600 hp mark and nothing was ever said about pistons. Is the piston thing real or just someone trying to cover their ass. This is the real issue.......I am sorry......MY real issue. I know I would be a lot more upset if I had ordered an ACR to go racing at the track with the promises of a Mopar aftermarket 675hp kit and then this statement. C'mon legal BS aside the situation has a darkside to it BOB. If you as a car guy were designing this motor for you as a Viper guy wouldn't you have used pistons that had a bit more freedom in the power department?
