I'm an M3 owner that is currently in the market for a Camaro SS .
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) ESS Gen 5 Camaro SS kit- http://esstuning.com/gen-5-camaro-ss...harger-system/ Features: V-3 Si Vortech Supercharger Massive Air to Air Intercooler (40x18x8) 10-Rib Reverse Tension Belt-drive System (3) 10-Rib Idler Pulleys Made from Hard Anodized 6061-T6 Aluminum. 105mm LS3 Supercharger Pulley Made from 6061-T6 Aluminum and Hard-Anodized in a Matte Black Finish 200mm ESS Crank Pulley Made from 6061-T6 Aluminum and Hard-Anodized in a Matte Black Finish Fluidampr Harmonic Balancer Upgraded Fuel System (Latest Generation Siemens Deka 880cc Injectors, ZL1 Fuel Pump, and Custom Fuel Pump Controller) HP Tuners nGauge Software Upload and Diagnostic Tool w/Perfectly Matched ESS ECU Software.

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

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 http://www.kwsuspensions.com/product...-35261026.html |

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.

Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.
oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here. Welcome!!
