Updated the post you quoted.


Eventually yes. However the downside of getting the latest and greatest car is that you spend extra money as better aftermarket options for tuning, or engine mods, etc become available.

I see 1 of 2 things happening...

1- open source comes out, and as a result ECUtek drops pricing to stay competitive - ECUtek will have the edge as it will have company backed support and company-backed updates. Open source will be user-based and therefore will only be as good as the user-base knowledge to add features

2- A competitor of ECUTek comes out and prices slightly lower than ECUTek (to earn business away from ECUTek) and prices fall slightly, but only 10-15%


I hope for #1 *edit again* - However I only plan on keeping the car til late 2013/early 2014 so I'm not necessarily inclined to wait for anything. I'll keep it for 1.5-2 years (which is average for me) and then either sell it as a well-thought-out mildly modded car (intake/exhaust/tune/coilovers/pads/tires/wheels), or part it out and sell it stock... I've been wanting a 996 turbo for years, I'll finally be in a position for one in about 12-18 months.

*edit* at the expense of possibly sounding shameless, if you like the info/opinions I'm adding, feel free to "thank" the posts
