One of these, with a Blendmount and Mirrortap power cord. Just do it. You'll thank us later.

How long until gsxr750 shows up to call us all sheep who fell for marketing because we bought radar detectors?

Couple of write ups
 
I am hoping some Texans :tiphat: will chime in. I am looking to spend less than $300 as well like the Whistler 1780, Cobra XR-1050, Bel 980...

One has been. :confused:

There's a large drop off in quality between top tier detectors like the V1 or Escort, and the cheaper ones. Save up more, buy a refurb, or buy used and get a good one. It will last you longer than the car will.

I agree, I purchased a cheap one (Cobra) and went through about 2 of them in about 3 years. The speaker would go out, rattle, etc. They are just poor quality.

I purchased a Escort 8500 X50 when I got my Z. I hard wired it and I have never been more happy. :tup:

Although I do sometimes wish I would have spent a bit more and bought the 9500ix. But none the less it still is great.

Passport 9500 has saved me over 9000 dollars :D

I live and die with my e Beltronics Vector 955. I10 and H54 are packed of Cops. Very good radar. It has saved me from some high price tickets, cops dont play around here in Texas. I was pulled over once for going eight miles over. I was so upset that day the cop was a jerk.
