Hello!
So i'm knew here, none the less, have had my V1 for about 2 weeks now, in Ontario.
I have a huge question, does VR have any plans on making a "stealth" RD anytime soon?
Love the V1, but I am not a huge fan of using it, considering the tests of spectre vs v1 on guysoflidar.com. Now I am using v1.7, but the rear detection is going to get me nabbed, let alone front detection.
Any advice/rumormilling would be fantastic!
Thanks
If you are in a place that it is illegal to have an RD, I would look at the Sti to be safe.
The sti would be the safe bet, it's a shame the v1 isnt spectre immune but i don't thin vr will do it anytime this year.
I wouldnt put it past mike to release a stealth v1 sometime in 2008.
If I were you, I'd probably keep the V1 around and use a Bel STi Driver for a year or two. When VR stealths the V1, you can send your 1.7 in for an upgrade for less than the price of a new detector. Then you can sell off the STi.
On the other hand, some people really love V1 1.7s, so you MIGHT actually do just as well by selling that now and getting a new V1 when VR stealths it.
Spectre only picks up older V1's like 1.7 for about 350'
I personally turn mine off at truck scales. :twisted:
Buy an Sti.
Save the V1 for US roadtrips.
It's as simple as that.

Thanks guys,
love the advice.
The V1 is steller, big fan, but i think I may need to get an STI for ontario use and keep the v1 until vr gets stealth.
But, you make a decent point, 350FT is just undera 1/4 km...and if they're doing lidar + spectre no chance for advance warning to shut her down.
Sadly, STI may need to be my option - dang.
Asde from money, I wouldn't swet having to choose an STi. Its a stellar performer.Quote:
