Well it is one thing to have tried and true components but it is another thing to get them to all work together in harmony.

Car are getting so complicated that they are not using electrical signals but electronic ones to communicate via CAN, LIN, and MOST busses.

If you do not know what those are then you have no appreciation how complex cars are these days.

Firestone is in the news again as they can't seem to make a safe tire.

Ford had cruise control solenoids in their F150 trucks that liked to burn your car and your house down while it is parked in the garage.

How long has the F150 been manufactured?

Not to put DCX in the same ranks as the "F" companies but designs flaws and mistakes do happen and get overlooked.

Besides the 6.4L will hopefully be out by then. The anticipation is kinda like waiting for Christmas.

I have never been first generation person anyway. Blu-Ray or HD-DVD.....which one? I'll let you guys buy first and I will buy later.

Just some of my thoughts.
Well I referenced the CAN bus in cars back last year in July and here the Viper is advertising it:

Viper SRT10 Roadster
Pricing available soon.

600 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque
New cylinder heads, intake and exhaust manifold
New CAN based powertrain electrical system with electronic throttle control
Three wheel styles
Eight exterior colors

2008 Viper SRT10 Domination

The All-New 2008 Viper SRT10 is poised and ready to strike, with 600 thundering horsepower and 560 lb-ft of torque. An 8.4-liter V10 variable-valve timing (VVT) engine with an updated exterior—including a modified hood—take Viper's awesome power and styling to new extremes.

I guess having the newest technology makes it better.
