Veil G4 and ZR4 Follow-Up
Several subscribers to the blog had commented that the Veil Stealth Coating testing with the video was not a “real world” test as the car was at an excessive speed and they felt that the punch through distances would be reduced.
Several days prior to the test, the “Veil Guy” was at our testing complex and we performed baseline testing without Veil stealth coating on the Shelby Mustang. The day of the test, we also did baseline testing with the white Toyota SUV aiming at the drivers side headlamp, prior to the application of the Veil G4 product.
We then performed a series of runs with both vehicles at more “reasonable” speeds (less then 45 mph). The following is a full report of our results;

Admitting I should had included this information in the original post, but as I had a production deadline with the ZR4 Laser Shifter video and cut some corners and omitted it and I apologize.
Also some other users had commented that they felt that the first tone heard during the ZR4 test was a “speed lock” that I missed. This was not a “speed lock but an E4 error message that was displayed on the gun.
I do appreciate everyone’s comments and suggestions.
Fireball – Pre Ride Check In
Today was the first meeting of all the racing contestants and getting the cars decaled, inspected and checked in. I took this as an opportunity to checkout all the cars while my teammate the “Veil Guy” made last minute tune ups to our BMW 540i sport.
My first project was checking out all the speed countermeasure equipment that many of the cars were using and I was shocked and somewhat disappointed in what I saw.
First off entry into this race is not cheap, it costs over $10,000.00 for the full entry. The cars are not cheap either. There is an Aston Martin, a couple of Bentleys, a few Lambos, a Ford GT40, and couple of Ferrari to boot. But when it came to radar detectors I was shocked to see that some of these drivers really skimped in this area, counting six Cobra’s, one RMR C-450, and even a KAT!
I chuckled when I passed the car with the Rocky Mountain Radar jammer as he was bragging to another driver how his unit was able to jam out all police radar and laser thinking to myself “I wonder how many miles he is going to make it before he gets his first ticket and finds out what a POS detector he really had.”
There were many drivers however that did do their homework and two even mentioned that they had been reading my blog and forum prior to the race and did make some smart buys.
On the high end of the radar detector spectrum I counted four Bel RX65’s, four Escort 8500 X50’s, two Valentine One’s, one Bel STi and one Escort 9500i. One Aston Martin driver that identified himself as a Radar Detector net forum member took me to his ride to show off his Blinder M47, his Veiled headlamps and a SR7.
I then met with the owner of the “Bat Mobile” while he was in the process of installing his Escort 8500 X50 to the dual cockpit style curved windshields. It was certainly a challenge installing the unit above the rocket launcher and booster rocket switches.
Tomorrow at 7:00 am we line up and depart for our first leg of the race, Baton Rouge LA.
Check in tomorrow night for more updates.
