No they arent. The manual for the cobra that it came with said it is legal to have.
I don't, because vtec is weak. And the sound of sirens NOT behind you is a lot cooler than the sound of vtec.
So the cops are dicks because they do their jobs, and you're unfortunately breaking the law in front of them? Got it. We go through this on the site roughly once a month, unfortunately. Don't break the law, whether cops are around or not, and you should do just fine.
*knock on wood*?Ive never gotten a speeding ticket
As much as a lot of people would like this, part of the reason their getting rid of the open limits is it's very dangerous for everyone on the road. If one person is flying down and the car in front of them is doing a slower speed by the time you recognize and react to it, it could be too late.
As a rule I don't like cops, save the exceptions. That's why I said "f***ing prick", not because they're doing their jobs. My problem is with the fact that this IS their job... sitting like a giant waste of tax-payer money, on the side of the road, catching people and writing tickets for technicalities, and dumb s*** instead of doing things that might be considered protecting and serving... like running off guys with civics that meet in parking lots.
I think if we wanted to, we could build the infrastructure to safely provide free limits on interstates. The real drawback is that most cars reach a terminal speed in terms of fuel efficiency, somewhere around where the speed limits are today.
