i AM NOTORIOUS FOR GETTING SPEEDING TICKETS AND I HAVE FINALLY DECIDED TO START KLOOKING AT RADAR LASER DETECTORS. I JUST GOT MY LICENSE BACK AFTER BEING REVOKED 9 MOS. AND WOULD NT YOU KNOW GOT A TICKET IN VERMONT 88 IN A 65 ANYWAY I LUCKED OUT CAUSE IM FROM NY AND IT WONT AFFECT MY LICENSE INNY BUT IT IS SURTE AFFECTING MY WALLET. $207.00 FINE NOT TO MENTION ALL THE LAWYER FEES I JUST PAID FOR DRIVING W/O MY LICENSE FOR 9 MOS ANYWAY

I KNOW I COULD SLOW DOWN BUT I SIMPLY CANNOT

Assclown (as - kloun)

n. – One that makes a public spectacle of his/her stupidity multiple times. One who is inept at even the simplest task, or lacks knowledge that is thought to be fundamental, even by primates.

Syn.- Dumbass, Rectum Jester, Comedic Plumber, Cockjockey

Assclowns can be found anywhere and everywhere. They permeate our very existence and we are defenseless against them. They have the superpower known as IGNORANCE on there side. The greatest minds the world has ever know have yet to come up with a weapon that can combat the assclowns IGNORANCE. As a result we cannot escape assclowns. Our only method of protection is to minimize their effect on us by continuing to persevere on our quest for knowledge and enlightenment. Although hard at times we must trudge on less we fall to the darkside and become assclowns ourselves.

Wow you guys really show no mercy up in here. I am sorry didnt mean anything by the caps.

Sorry i type slow as sh@# and i already typed like half of the post .

Anyway any people out there offer some help ??

By all means feel free to continue to rub in my utter stupidity .

Oh it wont happen again .

 

*takes off gas-mask* I just read somewhere about a detector called the Valentine1. People were loven' it. Maybe check those out. *puts gas-mask on*

 

the passport 8500 is well worth the money, i find it just as good as the valentine 1

 

http://radartest.com/article.asp?articleid=9090

I read it and it helped me a bit. Dont get the Valentine 1 cost the most with almost least performance IMO.

 

I own an 8500 and used a V1. Get the V1.


<---- has 5 speeding tickets. Trust me.

 

What is the address for the assclown website? Need for future reference.

 

instead of getting a radar detector maybe you should slow the **** down and learn how to drive before you kill someone you *** shat

 

Make sure the assclown URL gets stickied!

Oh yeah, and it's obligatory (and no one has yet) to say this: SEARCH!

My personal touch to yet another classic H-T thread has been added.

 

whats up. are you telling me you drive 55 mph or whatever the speed limit is where your from on the highway ?? I doubt it.

so if i jump on the highway and hit 100 thats a problem nah not too dangerous if you ask me .

Racing on the street that could be dangerous people dying all the time from that ****. Neva

I hear you though.

anyway installed the intake. I believe its better next week dyno time .ngotta get tuned and see what it makes . any guesses ?? dc header rs-r exhaust high flw midpipe think its megan m1 flywheel , pulleys Vafc ,intake aem v2

I thought i read somewhere the v1 was worse than the 8500 not sure though.

 

Where are you going for tuning?

What is that assclown addy?

 

escort 8500 = great sensitivity
v1= directional, not as good sensitivity

get a K40 front and rear system w/ lazer diffuser
it is installed in your vehicle and will work better than both radar detectors combined.
it is about $1400 installed though, but they garauntee that you wont get a ticket, and they pay it if you do.
the lazer diffuser makes you completely immune to lazer (lidar) guns, it puts a 6 sq ft wall in front and in back of you, the system is completley undetectable, and even if a cop did think you had a radar detector the only thing that shows are two L.E.D. s on your dash board which you can easily say are part of your car alarm. the lazer diffuser is a plate frame and the front and rear detectors are hidden in your bumper. the great thing about this system that makes it so accurate is the fact that all three pieces front rear and diffuser are all seperate they dont share the same processor, which greatly reduces the risk of falses from band to band. This also lets you know whether you are being hit from the front, back, or lazer.

I garauntee you, you wont find a better system.

 

you are gay

 

From RadarTest:


This K40 has a separate laser module and rear radar antenna, the former mounted on the front license plate (optional is a rear laser module). The manufacturer heavily promotes the promise of bi-directional radar detection although conventional dash-mounted detectors manage to pick up radar to the rear quite nicely without the added bulk and complexity of a second antenna.

The K40 is operated by a cockpit-mounted control module that sports two slide switches and six status LEDs--four of them either pale green or yellow that simply disappear in sunlight. This forces total reliance on the audio for band ID chores. Unfortunately, they weren't quite up to the challenge. Although we halted the test several times and cycled through the audio alerts in an attempt to learn them, this bewildering assortment of chirps, tweets and bird whistles proved impossible to interpret even after two full days earnestly spent trying.

We tested the rear antenna separately and found it gave about the same range as the front antenna. At least it did on X and K band. After spending fruitless hours trying to coax it to detect any of the three different Ka-band frequencies, we finally determined that the rear antenna doesn't pick up Ka band at all. Confronted with the evidence, a K40 spokesman reluctantly admitted that Ka band in the rear antenna is purposely deactivated.

We can guess why: the SS3000 is uncommonly prone to falsing--in reaction to other radar detectors, microwave relay towers, supermarket door openers, Burger King microwave ovens, you name it. We also noticed that the microwaves emanating from the K40's two antennas frequently set one another off, adding to the din. On our 10-mile urban loop the SS3000 shrieked 10 false alarms--that number would've doubled had we counted alerts of less than 2 seconds' duration--making it the noisiest detector we've seen in the past decade. The constant racket makes the SS3000 useless as a police-radar detection device but highly recommended for hungry drivers searching for the nearest Burger King.

At the straightaway/hill test site the SS3000 turned in competitive X-band Highway and K-band scores but its range in X-band City Mode was so poor that we were clocked by the radar for nearly a quarter-mile before it finally went off. It was equally shy about alerting to both K and Ka-band radar at the curve site, the radar guns nailing our target car well before they were noticed by the K40.

As the most expensive unit tested it would be fair to expect greatness from the K40. But with its inept Seventies-era design, total lack of features, user-unfriendly operation, wildly uneven radar scores and overly talkative nature, we'd suggest shopping elsewhere.


...


Although I think taking test numbers as real world indicators is like bench racing (and i can vouch that the V1 is better than the passport, owning the passport), i wouldn't advise someone to spend 1400 dollars on a unit that got a review like that. Even if they Do pay those tickets you undoubtedly WILL get with that detector, you'll have your license revoked before it pays for itself. Unless you can pull off 7 in the first 12 months, you arent going to get what you pay for.

if you wanna talk about remote radar systems, i own the srx from escort, and its the best one on the market.

 

i wouldn't pay 1500 dollars for a detector that doesn't outperform Everything else out there. Period. And the SRX doesn't. High end (300-500 dollar detectors) can be almost equally effective. Granted, it has some neat features, but you could get the same fuctionality for about 1/3 the cost. Plus, it's outperformed by the newer and cheaper SR-7 which will plug into the ZR3 and do the same thing.




In performance the SR7 is virtually indistinguishable from the SRX. No, that's not quite correct. Actually it turned in better K- and Ka-band test scores. (Keep in mind that the late-arriving SR7 was tested separately from the others, making direct performance comparisons unwise.) Regardless, sensitivity was the best we've ever witnessed from a remote detector. At our Straightaway/Hills test site, for example, the SR7 delivered an additional 9,395 feet of range on K band and an extra 15,894 feet on Ka band over the SRX, only a few feet shy of 7.6 miles versus the SRX's 4.6 miles.

 

So which one is the best for 300-500? So many letter number combinations... What about the Bel Pro Rx65?
