i had one on my 68. I wont have one on the bird. My pedal got stuck under the mat at full throttle in 3rd gear. Having to press the brake to turn the car off while pulling 7000 rpm goin down the road took a couple of years off my life. lol

Just got the kit, the key fobs are made really nice. They feel heavy and are made of metal. I quickly read through the instructions because I was concerned about what a member said that his throttle got stuck and he had to slam on the brakes while pushing the button to turn the car off. So this kit, at any point if you press and hold the button for 3 seconds will shut everything off.

On the Digital Guard Dawg, it'll turn off at 5s without brake. On the brake it's only 1s. When the cars WOT, 1-5s is an eternity esp when trying to hit a 22mm button on the dash.

When my car gets re-wired i'm putting a big red "kill" switch on the dash for an emergency shut off.

For a frame of reference, at 60mph, in 2s my car will pick up around 40mph, and be fighting traction the entire time.
