Just because you have a radar detector, doesn't mean you can speed up more now. Also, you have to understand how radar detector works. Lets say you're driving on highway and a cop is shooting radar. Radar from the cop bounces off the cars in front of you. Your V1 picks up those scattered signal and warns you ahead of time. So, if you're driving in a pack, radar detector works like a charm. If you're the only car on the highway, you are fully exposed to cops.

My radar saved me tons of tickets. Knowing where the cops are, will give you far more advantage and ability to drive much more slowly around cops. This helps you get less tickets. Not too long ago, I was driving in 2nd gear and I had a long stretch of road in front of me. I was going to floor the gas pedal so that I can hear the roaring exhaust. As I'm about to floor it, my radar goes off. I slow down immediately. Without a radar detector, that's a hefty ticket!

I thought the same thing. The chief of police told me they would just laugh at me for having a radar detector, and getting pulled over.

Any speed you want. If the cop pulls out after you pass by just give your ride a bit of gas so VTEC kicks in. You'll be home free. VTEC > Crown Vic
