its also one of the most expensive though

 

bell 985 or the passport 8500 are also good ones

 

the escort solo's are good too

 

I've used the Passport 7500 for about three years and its def a good product with brightness settings, smartcord, and three different modes. I get a lot of false alarms on X band but I think that may be because I live in Boston.

 

I used to have one...Then I got he 8500. Its like night and day.

Solo = 2 speeding tickets over a course of 2 years. 8500 = none since I got it Jan 2002 (Knock on wood)

 

v1, saved me enough times already

 

I love my escort passport 8500, saved me tons of time from those f#ck!ng pigs

 

passports arent that expensive if you look around for them, I got mine for 225 shipped.

i've used alot of the new ones, and I borrowed my boys 8500 on a trip to san fran to compare it to my V1


all I have to say is V1 hands down. I know it's more expensive, but honestly it pays for itself. My V1 has already saved me about a dozen times this YEAR, and i've had it for 3 now!

 

This subjects been argued about dozens of times on this site. Do a search on this site and you'll find a bunch of readings. I've been looking myself and it seems like the escort 8500 or the valentine one. Suppposedly the V1 is better, however, like most things, its also more expensive. Let us know which one you go with and if your pleased.

 

best radar is my eyes

 

you get what you pay for, thats how it always is, if you want a cheaper radar detector, dont expect it to save you as much as V1, you pay for product, its as simple as that

 

Anyone know anything about the SoloII? I Heard it's supposed to be alot better than the first one, plus it's cordless...

 

Any BEL radar detectors with a model number of 940 and higher.

Escort Passport 8500

Valentine One V1

 

For cordless, the BEL 946 ranked higher than the Solo II.

 

ill stick to the original whack radar cobra! lol thats all i got

 

i'll second dajuice, i have a bel 940 and no tickets for the 6 months ive had it. it cost something like $160 shipped.

 

i got my bel 980 for $180 shipped and i've had it 6 months and no tickets

 

I'm keeping my 8500 till they release the v2 (some rumors floating around by guys who have connections with Valentine)

 

somewhere i heard that cops are gonna start using lazer instead of radar now...so the radar detectors will be worthless...is this true??

 

alot of forces are picking up radar, but Ka band is still the most used system.


Detectors can still work w/ lazer, as long as he lazers someone ahead of you first.

 

Well I just bought off EBAY a BEL 980 for the CL and a PNI Sensero Traveller II for the Probe GT. I'll give you a review in a few weeks, and my first true road trip/test will be next weekend. DC to ATL road trip for 4th of July weekend!

 

I ahte to tell you but travel over to Ohio and in Dublin you will find that they use a combination of systems

They are using LADAR, Lazer, Short burst ladar and short burst lazer. From what I know here isnt a radar detector on the market that can piuck up either of the short bursts, so you are screwed if that system comes to your state


My radar detector is my eye and the self control on my gas pedal

 

a-cl2die-4 are you "Superman" hahahahahahahahhahah.

 

They are probably wrong. The V1 name is here to stay, so there will be no such thing as a V2. Just look at the website, valentine1.com. These rumors are usually always false.....connections with Valentine, etc. all trash.

 

yea exactly. Also, they are updated quite often, but the basic design hasn't changed, the module has just gotten alot smaller, my first was alot bigger then my 2nd and now my dad just bought a new one and it's even smaller then my current.

 

A few people on SupraForums have close connections to Mike Valentine. From what I understand from my buddy that owns the Supra, they mentioned a V2 but its real hush hush and isn't really public knowledge yet. So like I said...Rumors. Just have to wait and play it out.
