Wouldn't the metal (hood, firewall, engine, wiring, etc.) interfere with the RADAR signal? Bounce it around too much, weakening it or increasing false alarms? I used to get false LASER readings in my SRT with the 8500 when I either punched the throttle or turned my headlights (HIDs) on. Wasn't always, but still scared the **** out of me.

Many cars use laser tech for cruise control and lane changing which cause a lot of false results.

My SRT didn't have cruise control.  Or are you saying the other cars on the road? Either way, it would do it with no one around. Had to be just getting some sort of reading, or something. Maybe it was pure shock and awe from the SRT being so fast.

If yours was being set off while completely alone, there might have been problems with it or was it a cheap unit?
