RADAR DETECTORS...any advise?

Hello:

Since I get the 99C2 I find myself pushing the limit and perhaps my luck by using the 296 HP available. If I start getting tickets I may not be able to stay a member of this forum. (Back to stamp collecting)

Anyway, is there a Radar Setector that we can all agree on that is the best to owne.

Help! ...Can't drive 55!

i have the bel-rx65. it's saved me a few times. it even alerted on laser once. i think the valentines are probably the most sensitive, but they have a pretty big footprint. not sure i want to give up that much of my windshield. i do think the valentine directional arrows are very cool.

Lots of folks use the Valentine One, but I've been pleased with my Passport 8500. To each his own.

V1 - Once you get use to the arrows, you can't live without them...

I hate to pile on....but V1 is the way to go imo. You become dependent on arrows and the counter.

It doesn't matter weather you are on a sport bike or Porsche V1 weighs its weight worth in Gold. However laser Jamer is a plus.

Gosh. A thread about radar detectors. That's a great idea! I'm surprised this subject hasn't been covered before . . .

I like the Valentine1 myself.
