ROFL!! Thought that was coming from the mouth of another red WRX owner, (is too anyway from what I've heard) There must be something you all have in common I swear (& no its not the red car)

Its coming, the end of an era.

Maybe the new stealth detoctors will be better on lasers, Technology moves very fast

how can they be better on lasers?
lasers are on for an instant, at which point they ahve your speed, and your fucked.

my simple little whistler detector picks up laser well in advance i've had as much as a km warning on laser in the past, it probably picks laser the best out of all forms of revenue raising devices

1km on lazer, i find that very hard to believe..

Infact i would hand over $20.00 if you could prove it.

no chance...in hell

I did a complete assignment on the issue from an engineering point of view.

I've had that before a few times....need a very flat road tho..and a dip helps. eg. Great Eastern HWY near Northam.

Not all lasers are instant on/off. The older car mounted lasers were always on/on for a longer time...only recently have they got new ones which tend to be used on/bang got ya/off.
