I'm an M3 owner that is currently in the market for a Camaro SS :respekt:.

Looking at this one SS
https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...modelCode1=CAM


My M3 is supercharged by ESS tuning and I started my shopping list for the Camaro last week. While looking around at supercharger options I emailed the guys at ESS and found out they just released a kit for the 5th Gen Camaro. This was a shock to me since ESS has always been primarily for European/Exotic cars only.

My question is do any owners on this forum have the ESS supercharge installed? If so, please let me know your thoughts on the kit. In the M3 market the ESS kit is known as one of the most reliable SC's ever made.

My M3 with the ESS VT-2 SC installed (Horsepower: 625 SAE)

I don't have any knowledge on that super charger kit but that M3 looks sick. Hope you are keeping it.

looks like an awesome kit! subbed to your thread for updates

That’s one awesome m3! Bet that thing sounds mean... welcome to camaro5!

Welcome

100% keeping the M3 but want something that is a little more mod friendly budget wise. Not saying the SS mods are cheap but much better than the BMW M tax.

The BMW V8 S65 sounds amazing. Hard to archive this sound now with the newer turbo BMW's.

Thanks!

I'm also looking into buying the car from a dealer in AZ so that ESS can install the kit in-house. I'll update this thread when we I have more news.

It also looks like KW Germany makes a V3 suspension kit. So supercharger from Norway and suspension from Germany :)

Hi Chuck! First of all, thank you for being an ESS customer. Your E92 is absolutely beautiful! Since you already have our kit on your E92, you know the quality and attention to detail that goes into our kits. I can assure you that the same level of craftsmanship has gone into the development of these Camaro kits as well. With this being a brand new system for us, we would love to get some customer feedback on the forum. With that being said, we would be happy to offer introductory pricing on this kit to you, or anyone else who would be interested in purchasing one. Please shoot me a PM, or call me directly to discuss the pricing.
