    Red
    2005 Cadillac CTS-V

    had a 8500 escort and it was awsome till it started acting funny and I sold it on ebay for what I paid for it (NOTE: dont buy RD on ebay)

    My buddy lost his liscense for a year because of 3 offenses in less than a year (non speeding) so he gave me his cobra for free.......Its not that great but better than nothing...It saved my a$$ once so far.

    Cheap detectors ~$100= Get a Whistler

    Mid-range ~ $150-300= Get a BEL or Passport

    $$$ no object= Escort Passport 8500 X50 #340 OR the BEL Pro RX65 $330

    How often do you speed?

    How much would a few speeding tickets cost? Plus the raised insurance rates?

    A $200 speeding ticket costs a lot more than $200.

    Spend your $$ for radar defense accordingly.

    Edited to reflect more recent test results.

    I heard that Valentine Ones are a bit outdated now, and that upgraded Passports ($400+) and the best. Is that true?

    i wouldn't spend the $ if it wouldn't be put to good use. i do plenty of racing/speeding.

    it should pay for itself. the V940 has already... it saved my ass atleast 7 times in 3 months.

    You are correct. My bad.

    Still a good unit but no longer the best.
