Advice Needed: Best Radar Detector
Guys,
I am looking for the best radar detector available. Have to rush home 350 miles for my mother's 80 birtday on March 17th, and I willl, well, probably break the speed limit. At any rate "good" radar detectors may now be a myth . . . Thanks in advance for your input! Jeff |

Highly recommend you search around the forums. there have been multiple threads on this topic. seems to be a coin toss between the passport 9500XI and V1.. i like the 9500XI myself

I am partial to the 9500IX as well, I love how it locks out signals. It works well.

while I do agree that driving super aggressive on the street is dangerous but lets be honest we didnt buy 370Z's and sign up for this forum to drive the car at the speed limit all the time.. This is an enthusiast type sports car

I definitely agree with you on this one, however I invested in the 9500ci not to break the law and speed recklessly, but more so as a threat detector... We all have occasionally zipped around town doing 45-50 with even paying attention, in most areas local speed is 35 to 45, so we find ourselves doing 10 over without even realizing it. Installing my system I believe has made me a more cautious driver because I didn't realize how many times it has alerted me to actual police threats and red light cameras. I don't think the majority of people who own radar detectors buy them with the intention of reckless driving. That being said Escort/Bel to ME has offered me the best protection since the late 90's when I used their first concealed system... I have been protected since.

I have the 9500IX Race Edition, the red and black matches my 40th's interior. Amazing radar, has helped me avoid a speeding ticket several times.
