Radar Detectors

I've been searching for a proper radar detector to get for my Z...but everything thing that I have read on some detectors have a different detector as the best for each printing! So I am taking any suggestions people have on what is the best radar detector to get.

this is the best in the business........its kind of expensive but well worth it......... http://www.valentine1.com/ :flash:

I've recently done EXTENSIVE research and the BEL 980 and Escort Passport 8500 are beating the Valentine ONE. I was a big V1 fan until my cousin got one, it's so heavy it is hard to keep it mounted, plus it's HUGE, it looks like a VCR on the dash or something :)

And after researching it, I am a bigger fan of the BEL 980 right now, it's doing better against photo-radar too. The Passport is not exactly my taste but still excellent.

ok which one has a cord long enough to reach the power outlet? :D

Dang, good point dude! Back when I did the research I wasn't concerned with it.

I always thought it would be a good idea to build a radar detector that looked like a portable CD player. That way if you didn't hide it fast enough, the cops wouldn't get mad. Also you'd have a good reason to mount it on the dash - to avoid skipping. ;)

I got a new valentine 1 for my z last week. I can't believe how well it works.I drove to cincinnati today and it never missed. It would give me huge amounts of time to adjust speed.I took the car to a stereo shop and they ran the power through the headliner it comes out neatly on the right side of the rear view mirror. It is a phone jack type wire that easly disconnects so that I can put it in a diffrent vehicle. All the accesories come with the unit, for a hard wire to the car of choice and a second cigarete option for easy transfer to another vehicle. It cost me 406 bucks deliverd to my front door. I highly recommend this valentine one .Happy holidays Dave.
