You're close.  It's actually +/- 2.9500" using an MSD 6L optical lane
tracking computer.

Correct, using a Jacob's Speed Tracker 5000 digital speed controller with
Federally certified calibration.

Actually, with my Allen-Bradley brake servo controller system featuring
fully automatic stop sign detection and reaction sensors, I'm capable of
holding stops to 24.000" +6.000" -1.000".

You must have me confused with someone else.  I have a triple redundant
Phillips turn signal processing system, so arm signals are a thing of the
past.

This is definitely the case!  Before I drive I sort of enter a trance
because of the extreme level of concentration needed to safely navigate the
Nation's 4th most crowded freeways.
