Fire extinguisher.....which to buy?

[Edward 96GTS]

I would like to keep a fire extinguisher in the car. What type is the best to get, and where to get it? I heard that a halon does not leave as much residue as the ABC type.
TIA,
Ed

Sean Roe sells a good one and he also has a custom bracket that mounts the Fire Extinguisher to the Viper seat tract.

I believe that they now make Halotron instead of Halon. Largely the same, but not as killing to the ozone (or something to that effect). The other benefit is that the Halotron leaves no residue if used, whereas the dry chemical extinguishers leave a dust/chemical residue that can mess up your paint (which hopefully the fire has not). Sean Roe and Roe Racing sells a couple different Halotron extinguishers, complete with mounting brackets (uses existing front seat bolts on the passenger seat - EASY install). I got mine from Ed at Double Venom, and I think that he passed along the mantle to Sean. A good investment for safety indeed!

PS. I got mine for track time with the Porsche Club (required), but it also impresses folks just from the looks: A mounted chrome extinguisher makes the Viper look even MORE "all-business"!

That is what I have and I love it.

I have the Roe extinguisher and it is a quality unit. Fits
on a bracket attached to the 2 front seat bolts. Easy
install and looks nice in chrome. I can't tell you how
effective it is in putting out an engine fire, thank God!!
