i've got a passport 8500 x50. it and the valentine 1 are just about the best available in a reasonable price range.
also, this doesn't belong in s2000.

agreed. V1's and passports are the best, but my $100 cobra is just fine for me.
and even tho radar detectors aren't illegal in jersey, its gotten me outta at least 7 tickets that woulda been alot worse if the cop was a dick :w00t

8500 x50 > you
 the ability to turn off pop mode is a big advantage in its favor

Exactly. Also the x50 has a longer range.

I got a SOLOS2 escort and won't trade it for nutn'. even though the 8500x50 does have the POP technology and mine dosen't.....it's cool. it's still saved me many a times. plus escorts don't give as many fasle alarms as other radars. go to radartest.com if you have any doubts.  sorry i don't know how to link it......still a "noob" w/ this computer shit.

Another one for V1 but I'll have to add "with remote head". I ran a V1 and 8500 x50 together for about a month. They were about even for sensitivity, sometime the 8500 would pick up first, sometimes the V1 would note it first, but as was said arrow > all. Its worth the extra $100 to know which way that sucker is.

while we're on the topic.... is it true cops can't shoot you if they're going in the same direction as you?!?!? (radar guns, not real guns  )
