Peace,

lol no problem.

Top 2 are the V1 and the Passprt 8500 X50 (or new model 9500). I have both the X50 and the V1 and like the V1 better because the arrows tell you where the signal is and how many there are.

Peace,
Craig.

not too much of a fight out of a highly modded boosted 350z/g35 . Craig ran across one a while back. the g35 instigated the race. when everything was said and done. it was pretty ugly dont remember exactly how many cars were put on this g35. but it looked like he dropped anchor!

You can only by them from them, don't buy one from eBay. V1 comes with a hardwire (X50 does not ) so you don't have a curley cord for everyone to see and break into your car to steal it. Plus it comes on when you turn the key.

If you are in Houston I'll help you out too. If not I'll help you with a walk through.

That was a funny *** night Joe. I was minding my own business and he picks on my poor little SS!

I didn't even downshift from 4th at about 50mph, paced him for a few seconds then mashed it until about 130mph. His two headlights were one, and faint, hard to see him anymore. lol

Peace,
Craig.

I should be around mid 10's. But I gave up the 1/4 thing, for now.

My suspension is set up more for road race now.
