Besides all the great features previously mentioned and the advantage of making it 'user' friendly, "I think Softronic ECU Software is the best in this 997 thread" . . . . because they're offering this powerful package for free.

This way I can use my 'Economic Stimuless Refund' for something really important like food or clothing for my kids.

I have Durametric software and the cable. Do you have a demo flash so i can try the software?

 

Yes it has, Softronic was also the first company worldwide to offer the first true engine conversion software for the Cayman or Boxster to use the 3.8S or X51 Engines. This was done even before the US release. These conversions were and still have the highest HP and torque outputs.

Softronic does not offer demos or time expiring free trials. The reason being is that any time measured free trial software alters your DME permanently and it cant be corrected unless flashed completely. This normally could only be corrected by the Dealer in which would index the programming by 1 or by us. Basically if you had some free trial software and did not buy it your DME would be still altered if check 1 day, year or anytime there after.

What Softronic sells is a Tuned file and and a 100% Original file . When you change between these files they will completely be rewritten so they are totally correct bit for bit. All other switchable tunes are altered and would fail in a binary comparison even if switched to stock.

 

After using GIAC for about a year, I decided to try out the Softronic software after a very enthusiastic recommendation from my brother in law who has been running it in his Cayman S. I just installed the Softronic software a little over a week ago, which couldn't have been an easier DIY job - took about 5 minutes to complete. Cautiously optimistic, and after running GIAC, I wasn't expecting to witness a major difference...Boy, was I wrong. I immediately noticed a major change in the car, almost as if I was driving someone else's Porsche...Throttle response has improved greatly, but is not jerky or overbearing - just perfect! The car pulls much harder and consistently through the RPM range. It is by far, one of the best (and least expensive) mods I've done to the car. Overall, I have been enjoying my car so much more since adding the Softronic - couldn't be more pleased...

Although a few will be lucky enough to get it for free - for those that don't, it is money well spent.

Good luck guys...

 

I guess that I can't take advantage of this offer (EVOMS sc installed), but just want to say "Bravo" to Softronic for conducting such a positive ad campaign! I have only heard good things about you guys, and this kind of generosity only adds to the buzz and cements your reputation among us enthusiasts.
Congrats in advance to the winners!

 

why Porsche would not have incorporated these same upgrades through computer reprogramming from the factory if (a) the performance and driving experience is that noticeably improved, and (b) it would seem to be a 'no cost' add for them when building the car - meaning there are no needed engine internal upgrades, but rather just a 'flash' of the stock computer?. Porsche R&D certainly does not suffer from $$ or talent. The notion of aftermarket tuners always claiming to have found miraculous horsepower and performance in air-filters to computers that world-class companies like Porsche don't seem to offer just makes me skeptical. As I began this post, please help me understand. P.S. Are the improvements that softronics is marketing only noticeable with a modified car, or will they be evident as well in an otherwise stock unit? Thanks!

 

How about these reasons.

1.The website is terrific and supplies all the information needed to make a rational decision.

2.The feedback from the forum members all seem extremely positive, even the ones on this thread.

3. Softronic themselves will be the fair and impartial judges for their contest and how could they be wrong.(just kidding)

When reading through all this info, here and on Softronics site, the research and product development of this software and it's ability to revert back to the original system is second to none. This team seems to have done their work and it shows.

Good luck to all.

 

Funny you should bring that up. That was the exact point I brought up when I first drove my car after I installed it...This is how the car should have come from the factory - it's not like they have to produce a physical product, it's only software.

Unfortunately, it's more complicated than that. There are marketing/profit based motivations at play at Porsche. They have to keep a certain performance distance between each iteration of their 'product' lineup to ensure sales of all their various models. Think about this - if they unleashed some additional power in the Cayman series, which would not be difficult nor costly, how would that affect 911 sales? If they keep each car at different performance levels, by 'restricting' them, and maintaining different price points for each model, it keeps a nice order for them in their lineup. They can also bring in more $$ by offering performance upgrades to the models (which should have been there in the first place)...I'm sure there are some other variables at play here, but I think the 'profit motive' is a big factor here. I'd love to see the car that they could produce that was solely designed by their engineers, with no input from the marketing guys and the bean counters...
