I had a Silver Bullet that lasted me 4 years but unfortunetly i lost it... so, i was wondering which radar is good. ive seen the valentin 1 but there anywhere from 450 to 600 bucks! i need to get one soon bc the cops where i live are effing pricks, they'll get you for going 1 mile over the limit!!!![:@] thankS!!!!

Sounds like you need a damn good radar detector than under those circumstances. I wouldn't play around. I'd spend the money on the Valentine1. I've got a cheap Cobra but the cops around here are pretty good.

Ya, I wish I had the extra cash for one. I've just got too much other stuff I want to buy.

http://www.radardetector.net/ Lot's of good info there.

You can't go wrong with a V1. I personnaly like the BEL products (Beltronics and Escort are one and the same now, btw) and I'm running the BEL STI-Driver.Matter of fact, I just returned from a trip and had at least 2 definite saves.

A number oftop-of-the-line BEL's have excellent sensitivity. There's a link on the above website to some very good test info. You can get a decent BEL (Vector series) for around $200-$300. I wouldn't mess with most of the cheaper units.

Escort is next in line under Valantine1

Agreed. The Escort/Passport is a pretty nice unit. I like the design of the case a lot better than the V1. I'll probably end up getting that one when the time comes.
