Cant wait to see this car in person!

Also.. How do you like that ZR4? was thinking of going with a 9500CI but this seems to be a much more economical route since I already have the 9500IX.

The ZR4 is awesome, no huge saves with it yet but a couple small ones. You should def get that and integrate it with the 9500ix instead of spending all that money on the ci, especially since it's legal out here, no need to hide it! You'll need it now that you have the turbo in too ;)

Let me know if you get it and I can show you how I installed mine.

It has now just been added to my "to order" list. I noticed all they use pretty much now is laser, at least in legit speed traps. I also stumbled across this cool (if it works) gadget.

Photo Radar Blocker detects and defeats all speed cameras and mobile speed vans

I haven't even heard of this until now.

Thanks again!

Lucky bastards.

I'm heading to the U.S. soon and thinking about radar detectors...

edconline 04-11-2013 11:16 PM

^do it! I grew up in ON and if I moved back i would get the redline and stealth mount it, call it a day! Can't imagine driving without a detector now.

I had a radar detector years ago (~12 years). Got confiscated :shakes head:

There are 2 major traps on the section of highway between my house and work (one coming and one going). The only good thing is they always set up in the same spots.

The Redline is an "undetectable" detector. Like Ed says, good thing to have mounted in a stealth location just for peace of mind!

And because they are Illegal I am sure the cops are less stealthy about using their radar guns in ON. Here in Alberta they keep them off and just turn them on when they want to get you, thats how they get around the radar detectors. Its also why you want to try and find a "rabbit" that is speeding up ahead of you.

Its a big game of cat and mouse :happydance:.


Not that I speed :icon14:

That is why I always stay behind the FI guys.... Bear bait!

Keeping the radar off then turning it on suddenly or waking it up out of standby only works so well, I've gotten hit with those a bunch and you generally have lots of time to slow down before they get your speed.

Yup if you are quick enough and your speed is changing to quickly (slamming on the brakes) it wont register on their gun till you settle out. I got one ticket in my truck over the winter just simply because I was not paying attention and did not react to the radar detector fast enough. It also didnt help that I thought the limit was 100 not 80.

States like Ohio are true ********. They claim to train the cops to VISUALLY judge whether or not you are over the speed limit.

Gotta love the good old yellow lines on the highway....

In Ontario they no longer use radar detectors on the highway, only LIDAR. They will still use some radar for residential areas but it is almost going all laser now, good because you can jam it (momentarily) but bad because you have no warning and will need a clean pair of pants. ;)
