You guys aren't getting the point. The point is, at least for the '08 crowd, that our motors were actually skimped on a bit and they cannot be modded even the slightest bit without changing the pistons. What I am saying is that everyone knows that you void a warranty to a certain extent whenever you mod your car, but usually that has been with major modification. I know back in the day with the old 5.0 mustangs, you could add headers, intake, etc. and still be covered under warranty, at least I was. They were able to look at the problem and diagnose whether the modifications to the car caused the problem or not. Ford built those cars keeping in mind the end user and the fact that the aftermarket was a great place to earn street credit and sell more vehicles. Am I saying that Dodge should keep my warranty after a supercharger, turbos, nitrous, etc., NO....HELL NO... but mods such as exhaust, cold, air intake, wheels and tires, etc. should be in a category of high tolerance because it should be easy to see whether or not they caused the problem. I am somewhat upset to learn that the '08 MAY have been designed on the ragged edge, so close as to not even allow the 50-75 horse upgrade that exhaust and headers would give you. At that point I could have kept my '06 and gotten more out of a superchargers I believe those paxton guys are keeping their stock pistons. The 8.4L motor is a great motor, but it was not designed (if these story from SRT is true) for the end user that will more than likely take it to the street/track with at least minor modifacations. Its like Microsoft selling a supercomputer for tech geeks that cannot be altered. It would be a stupid move on their part. The worst thing is that none of this was disclosed to us until after we had purchased the new cars. There has never been any products in the category of mild modifications that were banned straight forward for the Viper because they may cause internal problems with the motor. I am just saying that if my 90K car that was built for the track, especially those ACR guys, cannot handle even a 50-75 horse upgrade, then it has a major design flaw from the factory and was advertised under false pretenses. I do not care about the LEGAL BS. Thinking of the consumer buying this car and the flagship heritage that it has for racing, performance, and ability to modify with aftermarket parts, Dodge/Chrysler messed up. Yes the car would be great for the average buyer by itself, but we (Viper guys) are not the average buyer. The product is flawed for ME!!!!!
