Got my first speeding ticket.. My mustang was only 2 weeks old at the time... 74mph 300 feet after the speed limit changed from 65 to 60.. very weak... I tried the "officer, I just got the car.. Its an upgrade from my 95 Jaloppy.. I didnt know I was even going that fast...".. he didnt buy it.. and Now I get to go to court - yay !.. Anyway.. Any suggestions on the best radar detector for the price?

Any and all help is appreciated !.. thanks

Radar Detector

Best for the price, hands down, is the new Escort "8500X50".

Do a search. This is just like the "3.73 or 4.10s?"

.... that's bad.
i've had my cobra 9550 for 4 years, no tickets with it
1 ticket while i got paced in VA. radar detectors are illegal in VA so i had put it in my trunk.

and i agree, do a search. this topic is talked about every month

I love my valentine one(http://www.valentineone.com/). Lets me know of K and Ka well before I can be read, even around turns and over hills. Just remeber a lot of police are using Laser and althought my radar deterctor lets me know, it to lat. Last ticket they got me with laser comming over a hill. I knew as soon as I came over the Valentine went nuts. Also valentine has upgrade feature, so even if they come out with a new radar for a small fee you get a new detector.
