Obey the traffic law works better than the best radar detector.

while I do agree that driving super aggressive on the street is dangerous but lets be honest we didnt buy 370Z's and sign up for this forum to drive the car at the speed limit all the time.. This is an enthusiast type sports car

9500 rocks. I have a stealth remote installed 8500ci, it's excellent as well. The V1 fanbois will kick and scream, but I think the 9500 is top current technology for radar detection at it's finest.

I definitely agree with you on this one, however I invested in the 9500ci not to break the law and speed recklessly, but more so as a threat detector... We all have occasionally zipped around town doing 45-50 with even paying attention, in most areas local speed is 35 to 45, so we find ourselves doing 10 over without even realizing it. Installing my system I believe has made me a more cautious driver because I didn't realize how many times it has alerted me to actual police threats and red light cameras. I don't think the majority of people who own radar detectors buy them with the intention of reckless driving. That being said Escort/Bel to ME has offered me the best protection since the late 90's when I used their first concealed system... I have been protected since.

Nothing like that sudden drop from 45 to 35 just around a corner and the man is in his favorite speed trap position................ meanwhile you were doing 50 thinking you were safe at 5 over and bam................ a 15 over the limit ticket............... that's what mine has saved me from, as well as the open stretch of interstate in good weather and I wanted to do 85 in the 70 zone to reach my destination........ I don't consider that reckless in good weather and moderate traffic conditions, YMMV.

Escort Redline or 9500. Both have beat the Valentine in numerous independent tests. I had an Escort 8500 for about 8 years and just upgraded to the Redline when I bought my 2013 Z

Anyone have any suggestions for a decently average cop radar with about a 1 mile range, under 100 bucks? Or maybe the best one I can find in the $50-$100 range? I just can't seem to justify paying $500 for a cop radar knowing I still have the possibility of getting pulled over. Thanks a bunch!

The best cop radar is not to speed. Beleive me ive had too many tickets to even count for speeding. Just do the speed limit, and then mash it when no one is looking.

With radar detectors, you're gonna get what you pay for. Any one thats under $300 isnt worth it.
