    the STi driver seems the most reasonably priced
    the others are pricey
    I have an old cobra xrs9393 (?) but it fails so bad I dont even use it.

    It's the most reasonably priced because it's the only one that isn't a remote mounted system, which costs a lot more. But for that price, you assure that it's not going to be seen by prying eyes of cops or thieves (although many times, one person is both).

    Performance wise, the cost difference isn't worth it, but for peace of mind of not getting caught in VA, it may be worth it to get the STi-R. You'd probably be better off saving that extra money for a laser jammer though, because that is the next big thing in Virginia.

    You are going to need one of the undetectable RDs listed above and a laser jammer to avoid Virginia speed traps. That and alot of reading around here. Good luck.

    I drive an 03 Mustang Cobra. I am moving to FL soon so I dont really need the undetectable one. What else is good? I am leaning toward the Passport 9500i
