All,
I am sure this has been asked before but a search did not turn up exactly what I am looking for.
I just reviewed the latest finding by GUYS of LIDAR and am unclear on the effectiveness of lazer jamming technology. But then I see references to Black cars being more invisible and better candidates for jamming technology. Are there any suggestions on the best product to purchase to protect this type of vehicle?
Thanks in advance for your responses!

My opinion after being at the GOL testing:
Best jammer if you have to buy now: Escort Shifter ZR3
Best jammer if you can wait for the retail version(assuming the retail version performs the same as prototype): Anti-Laser AL6
Yeah what stealthjamal said. If I was you, I would wait to get a jammer, unless you live in an area where laser is a MAJOR threat like Ohio...
A black vette is probably one of the most difficult vehicles to target with laser.
Thanks guys! I live in Illinios and I am seeing handheld Lazer guns everywhere! As for waiting, what product should I be waiting for? I am a newbee to this forum so please excuse the basic Q's.Quote:

I'd wait for either the AntiLaser gen 6 come out or the New Blinder comes available.
For radar detectors I would recommend the Escort X50, BEL RX65, or Valentine 1.
Wait to get either the AL6, or until the new Blinder prototype comes out.
Thanks much everyone! Any ETA on the new units?Quote:

What areas are you seeing the handheld lasers in?Quote:

The 2005 doesn't have pop up headlights like the C5 models do. This makes them an easier target. I would get veil for the headlights and tails and a laser shield for the front plate if you have one. Definitly coat what you can with Veil, this will provide you with some laser protection until you can pick up a jammer.
I would wait and buy the Antilaser AL6 and go with either the Escort X50 or Valentine One.
The Valentine One seems better for highway use in my opinion while the X50 seems better for mixed driving with the features of expert mode.
Careful, the 05's C6's don't hace pop up headlights,s I figure they must be a lot easier to target than the C5Quote:

He would want VEIL on there for sure.
For function the Veil will work great, but I don't know if he'll wanna put Veil on the headlights because of it's appearance after application.
jimbonzzz,
I would think his vehicle would perform similar to yours with VEIL.
Approx 300-500' punch throughs with VEIL only.
May be more than adequate.

Some people actually like the slight bluish tint that VEIL adds. I guess it depends on how well the application is done.Quote:

if you have a C5 with the pop up & down you are the pinnacle of canidates for VEIL! reason being at day time you cant see the VEIL *head lights down* and at night who gives a crap.
in my video if I remember correctly on a black 91 Vette with headlights down and VEIL on the reflective surfaces and against one of the best laser guns the stalker lz1 you are looking at 121 FT & 190 FT with no front plate. add a front plate to the mix and it went up to the 400FT area FREAKING outstanding!!! although I should add if you go with VEIL only be sure to pick up a V1 for 100% laser alerts! I'd also like to add with VEIL on the car the gun made 0 NOISE like it wasnt even working which was just incredible. this in real world situations would most deff make the officer think his gun was broke :)
haha if that's not good enough and you demand JTG and although over kill go with a blinder M-20 or just a single Lidatek unit and you'll be good to go!
good luck :)
the video I made with the 91 vette can be found here!

The car we're talking about here is a 2005 so it's definitely a C6.
Like everyone saud dont get a jammer yet....
for radar i would recommend getting a V1 or RX65
also just VEIL your headlights because a corvette is pretty hard to target
I would recommend waiting for either the AL6 or the improved LE-30.
Actually its not, the 05s dont have fold up headlights. same as any other car.Quote:
