is it true

yeah but it's not the only car like that.... even the Ferrari F50 has the same size front and rear... i'll update this with others as i find them (when i get time) i'd say you're right about the calipers... and the front rotors are wider to dissipate more heat so they do most of the work...

I have a small box on my dash that has your speed on one side and my [patrol] speed on the other. I can tell when you see me because your speed drops, and fast in some cases. The unit also keeps the highest speed it seen on you.
I have a small box that fits in my hand to turn on/off the antenna so your radar detector does not pick up anything until it is too late.
There is something you would like to know. If say you are coming down the xway going 80 and there is a large truck behind you going 55, all the radar will see is the larger object, the truck. I can't get a speed on you and it will stay that way until the truck is quite a way from you.
{Laser is different and I don't want to go on about that. Just one thing.Do you think the multi million dollar companies that make laser equipment are going to come to a stop because of a license plate frame? [or what ever they want you to think works] Do you think some guy that buys them for a department has asked about that yet and the company came up with a response yet?}
Someone asked about going the other way can I get your speed. Yes, of course. I write 80% of my tickets of cars going the other way. Do you have any idea of how hard it is to find a place to turn around real quick? Think about it going down the road sometime. You have to wait for traffic, etc.
Hit the brakes hard and I will think you are up to something besides speeding. To those that wonder how accurate radar is, high tech has made a visit to the companies making radar as well. While you are thinking about radar, also think who can develop the best radar and would share some of what they learned with us. The US military. Their contractors make some of our stuff to. Think about it. If you have a company that spent a ton on developing a new radar, you are going to get your investment back by selling it every way you can.
Oh yea, we got some new breath analyzers for alcohol as well that are very high tech. I can teach your grandmother how to use it in two minutes. [install new tube, push button] Drinking and driving is on a lot of peoples mind including those that make the equipment to catch drunk drivers. In traffic enforcement it is job one.

You would be surprised how many come back over and over again. We have a 22 year old guy that is in our jail for the fifth time for drunk driving. So how many times has he got away with it without getting caught?
There is quite a few 18-25 year old guys that come back, and they just don't care. You just can't do much with people like that.

[TRD2000]

not let them out? you could use our speeding fines for something useful! Seriously though i saw some stats that said drink/drugs are a major contributing factor in like 30% of accidents? I REALLY hate drink drivers, it's got to be the most stupid thing you can do in a car, well except for really nasty chicks of course...j/k

We get 0% of the fine money. It goes to the state, and some goes to the feds in some cases.

[TRD2000]

yeah i know... was just joking, meant it could be used to pay to keep drunk drivers it prison.
