It is a Cobra. I don’t use it in the city, but it does have a city mode which doesn’t allow it to go off due to traffic lights. It is pretty accurate so far, I know when it is the cops cause the KA band goes off. It has already got my out of a ticket, cop was behind me in a black unmarked car and the detector went off and I immediately downshifted. Sure there are better detectors out there, but for $70 it has already been paid off. ---

I’ve done it in 2.5 hours a few times. . .i wouldn’t recommend speeding even if you have a radar detector. Soooo many cops out on the highways in the past few weeks, and lots of cars in ditches. I got a $402 ticket (first Albertan ticket :finga: ) a few weeks ago and that’s after they let me off for a lot of other stuff. I’ll be heading down to calgary a few times within the next week too. . . ---

I did millwoods to blackfalls in a 1H 45Mins onces… I am pretty sure it would have been about 1:30 to calgary… I don’t think I am ever going to try and better that because going that fast for that long is just asking for problems. ---

Umm Blackfalds is NORTH of Red Deer. 1:45 to there is really really slow. ---

maybe its not blackfalls. Black fields maybe … its black something, its southwest of calgary… I spent the majority of the time around the 200km/h mark. There is a paintball field… Shortly after getting there I ripped the lip right off my car on a cattle gate… it sucked balls actually, I guess thats what I get for driving on a gravel road with less then 2 inchs clearance. :oops: ---

I did calgary to edmonton in 1 hour 45 minutes, after I went and picked up a turbo from Rob, I had to meet people in edmonton in 2 hours and I had time to spare. I also did wainwright to calgary in 3 hours, normally a 5 hour drive. ---

YEG to downtown Cowtown at 120 km/hr to the start of the Deerfoot, 110 to Memorial, and 80 to the flyover will run you 2:15. Bad weather and idiots slow you down. The more of an idiot YOU are, the less they slow you down. 8) Dan [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/edmonton-to-calgary-driving-time/145750.md?page=2)
