Heads up: Stamford is shooting LIDAR now

DefactoM6 · 09-09-2011, 12:32 PM

Just a heads up for anyone living in/driving through Stamford...I got hit with LIDAR driving northbound on Long Ridge today...Laser Interceptors and V1 went bananas. Looks like local towns are starting to pick up laser...I think I might go buy myself some rear Laser Interceptors to compliment my front set.

DefactoM6 · 09-09-2011, 03:17 PM

Yup, I got to test them for the first time ever today, definitely wasn't expecting to test them in Stamford of all places...

gb?

Stamford has been using it for a little bit of time now. Very rarely do you get the lazy cop that is using KA.

DefactoM6 · 09-09-2011, 04:24 PM

Laser Interceptors...go with the best, or die like the rest. The tests don't lie. Definitely getting some sensors for my trunk.

LIDAR = laser, and no radar can help you. if your radar picks it up, it's already too late. Varying opinions on the "best" but the consensus is Laser Inteceptor.

how many of these things do you need?

the quad is $2000!!

tofu- · 09-10-2011, 11:46 AM

still, it's over 1k for the regular quad

. Ouch.

I wonder if these are a lot cheaper on the used market

DefactoM6 · 09-10-2011, 10:31 PM

Not as ouch as a whopping speeding ticket.

Isn't Veil best applied through an airbrush or paint gun?

MusclezMarinara · 09-12-2011, 02:25 PM

blinder or escorts.

DefactoM6 · 09-12-2011, 04:22 PM

Check the tests Marco, LI is significantly better than the rest, it's pretty universally agreed upon, it has to do with the use of diodes in the LI vs. LEDs in the Blinder/Escort. Not trying to slam the Blinder or Escort products, but when it comes to insuring against lawmen, "good enough" never cut it for me...
