I am however telling you that when we have been out driving in the wild, that the Escort has ALWAYS picked up signals ahead the V1's - and that the advantage of the "arrows" is nil when compared to the display showing a complete line for ach bogey detected AND frequency incationf of each AND a tone differnece. So again - do what ever the fuck you want - the topic opener ASKED for opinions. And I am guessing the thread starter IS interested the opinions of people who have owned and used BOTH - even if you are not. Again - the thread starter ASKED for opinions. Quote:

I was once caught early in the morning 7:30 on the mountains in the atumn, miiiiiles away from sivilisation, and i did 95 on a 80km/h on an empty highway overtaking a lorry, and i had to pay $550. The cop even gave me shit about "the porsche wheels on my Audi 80" threatening me to have my car controlled by the DMV regarding the wheels and lowering. It's Not lowered. :wall: The police here have also been known to stalking people in undercover cars for miles and miles, waiting for them to speed when overtaking a truck or a bus. We currently don't have good enough laws around this. the V1 has been very good, not to be used as an insurance, but its's nice to check it before overtaking. We also have a pretty good volunteer SMS system which tells you about local speedtraps. |

I saw on the news your recent law about +50 speeding over the limit, this is really too extreme. Be careful mate on your Ontario provincial roads. :wink: |

^^^ yeah that is a great site.

Had experience with both V1 and Escort 8500
Went as far as testing them side by side on the long highway journey. The response performance was pretty much identical. Pros V1 - arrows Pros Escort - doesn't go off anywhere near as much as the V1 in the city. In the V1 it really becomes to the point where it's so annoying you want to turn it off! In my opinion the arrows in the V1 don't ought way the stellar performance of the Escort. Period. |
Thanks for the help everyone, but it's just as I expected. A lot of people say the V1 is the best, but then someone that has experience with both detectors chimes in and makes me rethink my decision. Ahhhh decisions decisions. :? I'll let everyone know what I eventually choose. :D

the real answer should be not to speed that is the best radar dector :P
|
I use a Cordless Escort which was supposed to be pretty good. Anyway to me the detector is secondary protection, you need to keep your eyes open for cops who sneak around you and switch on instant radar to catch you with your pants down.
|
The cordless escort (actually all cordless detectors) are only as good as the freshest batteries you use.
Anyway - where are the photos of the event..?? ;) |
Hi
Top 5 reasons why you should consider Escort Detectors
1. Winner of more detector awards and tests than all competitors combined! 2. 65% of detection protection patents belong to Escort 3. More than 35 years of designing and engineering radar detectors. 4. Only detectors to feature AutoLearn technology – eliminates false alerts that plague all competitor detectors. 5. World’s only all-digital detectors with true Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to alert to real threats faster and more accurately. Source: RadarDetector-Guides.net |
I said to myself WTF my V1 didn't show any threats at all. After, I hide my radar very quickly and when the cops said to me that I running 140Km/h in a 100Km/h zone newfreespins-nodeposit
, My first question to the police was to ask by which system he caught me ? He said only by visual speed evaluation. :roll: Thus, this subjective evaluation is very contestable in court.
