ESS Centrifugal Mustang Superchargers

[80FoxCoupe]

I 2nd the Vengeance stage 2, although I haven't yet had the pleasure of driving it, but my buddy who owns the shop where I am doing my engine swap at has 35 years in the business and was very impressed with how stoutly built the unit was.

That's a weird looking torque converter.

There was a guy at the strip a few weeks ago with the license plate of ESSCEO.. He was running 9.5's.... I got lined up with him and ran a 10.9.. I expected him to dust me but when I got to the eighth mile he *finally* appeared to be taking off... He ran an 18... @75mph. With a 2 second reaction time... LOL @ that. (my buddy told me he just spun the tires and couldn't launch).

Tried to talk to the guy afterwards and find out what went wrong but he didn't want to give me the time of day. He was such an ass that as I walked away I mentioned oh yeah, I'm in the Roush car that just waxed your ass. He said "whatever" and rolled up the window. He's apparently their tuner but whatever. Learn to speak. Get out of the cubicle and figure out how to go on the 3rd yellow.

I bring this up because I WAS curious about the kit and they do have a local presence here. Now? No interest. If the guy is that big of an ass when asked questions about the product, I could care less about ever owning one.

<this post should be deleted but I'll leave it. Apparently he is not the tuner.>

How do you know this guy is even affiliated with them?

Because he pulled out his jump to conclusions mat.

Why would his license plate say "ESSCEO" if he wasn't affiliated with them?

But on the other hand, why would he use that stupid ass plate if he really was the CEO?

Couple quick thoughts that popped out.. could be a "funny" plate... maybe his car has a Procharger or similar supercharger and thought it be funny to say "he owns ESS"... or wants people to think he might be somebody "important"... i.e., is a poser

but we may never know.

I thought ESS was an over the pond company

I believe they started in Germany or somewhere round there but their US shop is out of AZ and that's where the mustang kits ship from.

Ok that would make more sense. Thanks for the info

I’m assuming the “420” part of your username means that you smoke a lot of weed. Because you were definitely high when you made up this little story of yours lol.

I’m the owner of the car you’re talking about. NONE of that stuff you mentioned happened, not even close. The only true portion of that nonsense was that we were in fact randomly paired with each other at a Friday night test and tune. I spun off the line and immediately aborted the pass. Your car ran an 11.79 @ 126.51 not a 10.9. I have it on video. Having aborted the pass I cruised through the traps at 64 mph. If you want to take that as W go right ahead lol. Probably your first win and it was by default. Congrats on running what NA cars run.

Clearly I was not concerned with my reaction time. It’s a test and tune, I’m racing the clock not the car next to me. I very much understand how drag racing works.. I’ve been racing and building cars for quite some time. But thanks for the tip.. go on 3rd yellow. Got it. You think I run 9.5’s in the 1/4 but don’t know how the tree works?? OK.

The rest of the story didn’t happen. You never told me that you “waxed me”. Simply did not happen. You’re making that up to sound “tough” on an Internet forum. I was never rude to you in any way shape or form. You asked me a few questions and I politely answered them. I was likely busy reviewing logs and making adjustments to the car. I was minding my own business. I literally didn’t know who you were. And I still don’t.

I am not the tuner at ESS.. don’t know where you got that info. I do not work in a cubical. All the more proof that you’re just making stuff up.

The plate “ESSCEO” is an inside joke with the owner of ESS. I represented the company for the last several years.

I’m confused as to why you feel the need to make all of that stuff up, lie about your time and then post about it. Someone clearly hurt your feelings and it wasn’t me. I remember you being a nice guy and had zero issues with our short exchange.
