they are obviously ready, if they are giving one away on the 7th, and im SURE they didnt finally finish one that day and decide to give it away. MY guess is that people are still ordering the reflashes and they dont want to kill any business that they can make before releasing their new product, especially since IMO i dont tihnk anyone will purchase a reflash over the flashpro...

the giveaway event with the dyno competition is obviously a well planned marketing tactic...they're going to show you and leave no doubt exactly what the system does.

Im just saying, its business, and I understand, but i still think its because they are selling reflashes and want to keep selling them while they can. I dont really care about that, its a business.. your in it to make money.. but i want it now

did hondata specifically say they are giving a free flash pro that day. i mean i haven't done any research but i got the feeling that the winner of the freebie will be given a ticket of some type and have his mailed to him or something

from hondata.com 'There will be a prize of a free FlashPro for the Civic Si that dynos with the most power.'
from a legal standpoint, I see nothing in that statement that implies immediate transfer of said good...

once again, IMO to keep the Hondata bandwagon fanboys from running to COBB. No need to be rude, we can all be douche bags, im just saying what i THINK is happening, think of it as a business stand point, instead of Hondata being a personal friend and thinking im making a personal attack on them...

@ the other posts, I believe they will be giving it away that day. They had already said, they will be allowing the USEAGE of the FlashPro to also get dyno results. So once again, IMO (lol) i believe they will give one out that day. But no one really knows..

they're not my friends...I've never met Doug or any of the hondata staff in my life...I live on the east coast and don't get out that way very often. (vegas is between here and there) sorry for being rude but what you think is ridiculous, I'm sorry. as far as retaining customer base, you might be onto something there. the release has nothing, however, to do with continuing to sell reflashes, that's an illogical idea

^ in a sense it is ILLOGICAL, but if you can think of it like this..
Im selling this reflashes to help out your car, im still selling them and making money, now I have another program to fully tune your car instead of a generic reflash... once i release this, people are going to stop spending money on the reflashes, and only buy this new tuning program.. lets wait out the stage2 release just for a few weeks and sell what we can of the stage2 flashes, then minimize the loss of r&d for the stage2 reflash and start selling the new tuning program to start making up for the r&d on that program..
I dont know if you can undertsand how i wrote it, but thats how i am thinking it in my head.. but its only speculation at its worse. either way we at least have knowledge that omg we have a tuning solution. which is freaking amazing.

BUT than again, it could all be about maintaining customers, and they simply do not have enough in stock atm to send out to their vendors, fearing back-order im sure they want to have as many possible when it releases.. thats a good reason for the hold up as well, in my personal opinion..
I'll take you up on that. $500 says the first FlashPro will ship in June. Put your money where you mouth is.DevilDoc87 said:
Yes, we'll record the owner's details and send them a FlashPro once it goes on sale. Another consideration is that some people will not be able to wait around all day to see if someone at 4:59 is going to better their power.
Note that the second prize is now a half price FlashPro - otherwise I'm almost certain the 2nd place getter would want to upgrade anyhow.
