Have any of you played with the Bushnell Velocity radar guns yet? There was a guy at Mid Ohio with one and it was rather neat to see the straightaway speeds for some of the race classes, so I thought I should own one someday. That day is today. I ran across a deal on them through my friend the FFL (where I purchase all of my firearms). One of his catalogs had the radar guns in with the Bushnell scopes, so I ordered one. It reads from 6-200 mph and will clock a car from 1,500 feet away (per the manual). It will also clock a baseball from 6-110 mph and 90 feet.

I need to get outside to test this thing, it looks neat. All I can say so far is that it drives my radar detector insane when I squeze the trigger, I guess that's a good sign.

I've already done that with a GPS and a dynojet.

The car shut off at an actual 158.1 mph on a 162 mph speed limiter on the dyno.

My gps shows that it is about 1.5 mph high at 80 mph. Knowing that the error will very likely increase with speed in a non linear fashon, that seems about right/reasonable.

I found out my speedometer was reading 4 or 5 mph low on the high end. I went through the speed trap on the Bonneville Salt Flats at 160.959 mph with the speedo reading 155 to 156 mph.

My speed limiter = 255 mph (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
