Radar Detector

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.

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.
