an* ;D
maybe in your world
imo… your going to get what you pay for, so if you want to spend 150 on something thats going to tell you a cop is around when you can see him… then buy a cobra or an escort…but if your not planning on speeding i just wouldnt worry about getting pulled over… my V1 saved me today from a cop with a laser gun
when you detect Laser and you’re speeding, you’re usually fucked. It’s a one time, shoot, prints speed, pulls you over…unlike Ka where it’s on all the time and can be detected from a FAR by the V1. Oh and your statement about Passport Escorts…they have the 8500 and 9500 that are on par with the V1 :nono
yup saved me a few times. not for speeding mostly exhaust stuff, cause as you know my car isnt quiet :nuts
i duno, 350 with everything… case, concealed display, extras, visor clip, hardwire, spare fuses… i paid 480 like a year ago.
uh dont compare escort with a cobra, compare escort with a V1… they are about the same performance, its liek ZX14 vs Hayabusa, about the same its just preference after that
V1 or dont speed. I just dont speed/weave in and out of traffic like a dumbass.
Pussy
nah dick… i got lucky, he shot another car with the gun… i read that n then he hit me after
Really??? My Escort detects better than a V1. Its just a defective piece of crap. Valentine has much better quality but nothing makes it worlds better than any other detectors in its class. Except maybe those silly arrows :
those silly arrows let me know there was a cop up ahead, rather than beeping leaving me wondering which direction the cop was coming from…and the cop im refering to… you know that one that got you coming back from LVD that night :haha
:haha Yeah Joe… In that aspect… V1 > Passport ;D
:thinkingof :thumb
iirc lasers dont bounce off othr cars, and if u detect one that means your getting hit hands down, there is no radiance to the signal so to say like a KA or radar frequency band
from what I understand at least
You think the laser beam would refract or reflect off another car and set your detector off, I’m pretty sure it has happened to me. But also, I’ve been directly hit with laser and I don’t think it was a good enough reading back at the gun. IIRC they have to hit a reflective object like a license plate or headlight. If they slightly miss their gun might not get a good reading. Also, weather conditions play a big role.
The laser itself has very little ‘radience’ as you put it, but the beam starts out 1/4" in diameter and from like 2000’ feet the beam is something like 3 feet in diameter, so basically the further away you are the less accurate, and it makes it easier to detect without the beam actually being on you, not to mention it’s just light, it WILL reflect off of an object into your V1 if it hits a windshield just right :thumb
Ive never had a problem with any of my escorts as they have served me well through out the years. Saved my ass on many occasions and Brett will vouge of my habitual speeding
speeding, you? never.
Okay, I gotta call Escort today and bitch about the refurb piece of garbage they sent me. If they don’t do something for me that I like, I’m gonna get my money back and I might just have to take that off your hands.
