    Default Last time I ask, promise..

    Okay I get paid tomorrow and I will be making my RD purchase......


    I'm in the state of VA and whether or not they possess Spectre's seems inconclusive at this point.

    Whether I spend $400 on a V1 or $450 on an STI is all the same to me, so money is not an issue.


    I want the best detector possible, and I really would like to get a V1 so I'd have the directional arrows and better laser protection but then again I don't want to be getting busted all the time for using a RD that is detectable when i could spend a few extra bucks and get one that is invisible (via freq).



    So whats the verdict folks, V1 or STi??? My heart tells me to get the V1 for the arrows but logic tells me the STi to save myself those $90 tickets.....

    well ok the 4th thread you have made about the same topic

    ok you seem hung on the v1. why don't you get the v1 first and try it out for 30 days and see how you like it. i would guess if you eat a ticket in that time for possesion of a RD i would then suggest you send it back in and get an sti (that is if you got hit with a RDD and not one of those fool traps where they shoot you with instant-on and you hit the brakes the get pulled over and asked to cough up the RD for a ticket cause obviouly you would get the same ticket with the sti).

    so basically if you can go the 30 days without a ticket then keep it, if you do get nailed you know the only way you have to go :arrow: sti

    if you lived in any other state i would say get a v1 or rx-65 but since you live there and im not sure about the spectre making its presence there, i have said the sti. but it wouldnt hurt to try the v1 out and see how you like it :idea:

    STi...I would hate to run into one the VA locals with the spectre...V1 hasn't said anything work about a spectre proof RD....Heck the V1 only ships inside the states so what make you think they will go make a spectre proof radar detctor to ship to one more state

    For most people id say STI, but you seem to like the V1 more, so id say V1, eventually they will be spectre invisable and you can get it upgraded, either way you'll be happy

    V1. Better detector, better support, lower price. The STi is a niche detector, designed for those in illegal areas and commercial operators. While you are in an illegal area, the primary means of detection there are VG2s (which can't pick up the V1) and brake-light traps. The number of Spectres out there is so low at this point that the odds of getting hit by one are too small to justify spending the extra money on a detector that Belscort will stop supporting in a couple of years when they release the STi2 or RX-80 or whatever anyway, and isn't even on top of the performance lists today.
