SignUp Now!Damn 500 bucks is a dent in the wallet for a detector no matter how good it is.
If you only speed about 5-10 MPH over on the highway thats the style of driving that its good for; if you are a serious speeder you should really re-consider.
It will not detect everything all the time, and wont stop laser.
My visit to Texas resulted in two laser encounters and lots of Ka; I wouldn't hesitate to invest in high end gear if your doing high end speeding.
It's money well spent and will work in every vehicle you own for quite a long time.
Hey thanks for that info. The style of driving u listed is how i am n I have fortunetly have not had speeding tickets. I would always pay attention to the flow and lights. so with all that being said would u say that the above mention detector is a good one to get?
yea im not speed racer i only do about 5-10 over
He's gonna say a v1
V1 all around still performs the best in my personal tests with my police issue speed measurement equipment.
Want to see how bad an Escort 8500 X50 is at picking up quick instant on busrts vs. the V1?
This is a $300.00 radar detector (not a 100$ cobra/whistler) and it failed miserably.
How well do you think the $100 cobra/whistler detectors do? They dont.... Never had one pick up this type of radar.
Check this out...

Spend the money once on a good one.
For 5-10 over you really dont even need a detector.
Most police wont even pull you over on the interstate until you get to 10 MPH over or more.
V1, Escort 9500 CI, Bel STI-R (if you can find one).
Actually yes they do. I got pulled over doing 87 in a 80 cop was going 65 in the right hand lane I passed him and sure enough this Dick pulls me over long story short he was the asshole in the wrong doing 65 in a 80 causing traffic to have to get over in the fast lane lol
I need to get me one of these v1's. Whats the price?
I did this video a year ago i think when i purchased my Valentine 1 at first I was skeptical but still owning one this is the greatest investement i purchased
