You have both upgraded since your last impressive runs at Atco, it should be interesting, based on the outcome with LM and someone needs to stop Mike from posting about that 10.69 run every chance he gets.

Make it happen man and put all speculation to rest! This may be a grand opportunity to see the strengths and weakness of all respective kits.

I'm annoyed of this ESS vs Active Drama, get over it - you both make awesome products and I have respect for both of you being pioneers. But it is just annoying (and embarrassing for both of you) to see two leaders in FI E9X M3s argue and instigate like this on a public forum.
I'll be honest, I enjoy reading it because its funny, but its getting old now. Based on what I've seen over the years of reading and a year or so of being active on his forum there is an uncanny bias towards ESS - its seems that every thread with anything positive about Active has ESS (the company, not a customer) chiming in with something negative. Almost seems like ESS owns a stake of this forum and is controlling information... Last edited by kthxbye; 09-09-2012 at 10:50 PM.. |

Z06 in the video traps high 130's low 140 in good DA. Impressive turnout for the M3's. FWIW I've beaten an Alpha 9 GTR with this Z06, and ran with a Ducati 1098 (and ran away from a stock z06 very hard....with headers/full exhaust/tune/intake it dynoed 430whp on vettedoctors dyno....so it reads on the low side).

Its common sense - when the vast majority of people who slap a blower on their car chooses ESS, then this should be expected...take yesterday for instance, I dont think there was a single blown M3 at the show but ESS Last edited by erm324; 09-10-2012 at 08:13 AM.. |

With that said, I totally understand with customers jumping in - what sparked my curiosity was when I started noticing ESS as a company posting negative responses and instigating in each thread (and others are just as guilty for biting and firing back) |

As far as a bias, what some perceive as being partial, others perceive as facts and reality. The vast majority of comments in here that specifically pertain to AK's car destroying Lost Marine's M3 are positive. The only question many of us had was why didn't he run the 600, why hasn't he ran M33, etc.? Or any other car for that matter to date? He gave his reasons and then what followed spun a little out of control, it happens, take each side for what it is, either way there's no bad blood between AK and I. I think the dyno and blower comparisons have been a fair discussion, and I certainly didn't see ESS as a company post anything that was egregious. There is no conspiracy, never has been. I've been around a long time, I can assure you M3post is very well managed and run, it is very fair, and they are forgiving when other forums aren't. Jason is a gentleman and a class act, he runs these forums for enthusiasts, not to promote himself, and he certainly isn't a push over either, from what I've seen he does an extremely good job at balancing all the ego's in here and at times lays the hammer down when it needs to be, currently it is by far the best BMW forum, especially for E9X's, and I have little doubt that it will be for the F30 as well.

This thread has obviously turned into the typical SC VS SC thread mostly due to Andrew claiming that this video somehow shows that a Active stage 2+ car beataing an ESS stage 1 car proves that AA's stage 2 kit performs better than any kit we make. It is to go without saying that our customers who have our stage 2 products will most likely disagree and with close to 300 of these kits on the road there are a lot of them out there. This comment from Andrew in particular proves my point in reference to our VT1-535 and our VT2-600 kit which was not even run against. "Fact is in the video Akash's car could pull both of those kits with ease." At no point in this thread did I state that any of our kits would beat any AA kit with ease or take shots at Active. I stated that the outcome was as expected, I asked a few questions, posted some facts and corrected a few inaccuarte statements. I have actually been very polite in this thread with all things considered. |
