lets talk radar detectors

Hey, I've searched and found the V1 and 8500 are the best. Im considering a escort passport SR-7 with the laser jamming parts. Is that better than the v1 or 8500? Is there something better?

its worth the 100 bucks letting you know where the cop is approaching from...for example...

i was picking up K band full bars, looking around for the cop, cant see him, i go out of his radar range, and all the sudden k band starts going crazy i see him starting to fly up from behind me because the arrow was pointing behind me, so i shut the radar off, and i cruise the speed limit, get followed for a few, then he turned off.

Nice, from what I hear, the v1 is worth the extra dough. I will be gettin myself one soon.

you can read the reviews, search, even download the head to head comparisson movies. Time and time again the v1 wins.

hey, if its good that the millionaires that do the gumballs runs use it, then its good enough for me
