Re: v1 laser works



Dan: I actually think the missing front plate makes it harder for the laser
gun to measure your speed since the plate is really the only retro-reflector
on the front of the car.  The rest of the car scatters most of the IR light.
I also run with no front plate.

'91 200Q, V1, no front plate, usually going too fast.
