Driving a car made for speed is one thing but a work truck at 90 is another. Good thing you are a BAMF whatever that is.

These numbers look a bit long for stopping distance but trucks still don't stop as quickly or handle as good as most cars.

Ratio of Speed to Stopping Distance

Check out Lidatek. I have had a 100% success with my dual front system on my other car and I really want to do one on the X now.

Did you ever get that Laser Interceptor?

Have you been hit with laser from behind? I have only seen them shoot from the front.

Slick install. Do you have rears mounted as well and where did you mount the controller and switch?

Thanks.

No rears mounted as I have never been painted from the rear, so couldn't justify the added cost, its already pretty expensive.

The control box is mounted under the driver side dash. Its connected to the stereo head unit and mutes the stereo when it goes into Jam mode. I have the on/off switch in the ashtray compartment to turn off after I have slowed down after being painted.

OKay lots of reading but i have to say good things happens to bad ppl and bad things happen to good ppl, i never speed in my F430 cus cops always looking for that kind of cars but i got rock chip on my windscreen it will coast me 4800$ or more to replace it, i hate ppl going on hi-way 80kms in 100 zone and dump trucks in fast lane should be restricted to go in fast lane like Europe i spent most of my life there no trucks are allowed in fast lanes. Canada is funny like (Day time running lights) rest of the world dont have that this is BS law

How do you not speed in a Ferrari? Or better question, why not speed in a Ferrari its kinda the whole point I would think.

Nice collection of cars, past and present.
