Sun Visor vs. Windshield Mount

[Road Warrior]

Just curious, is there any difference in range, performance, etc., btwn the RD on the sun visor (visor clip) and the traditional windshield mount (suction cups)?
We all know that the sun visor is not close to the windshield, maybe 10' off, so is that gotta make a difference in losing (some) range/performance of your RD? For those of us living in "special" areas, the sun visor is the only way to stay "alive"... also the RD is hardwired but I don't think this has anything to do with my above question... and obviously no any tint on the windshield and always very clear view of the road ahead (straight and level)...
TIA

10 WHOLE inches? Unacceptable! :lol:

You could get about 3 feet sooner if you mounted it in the grille!

I'm kidding here! please don't take this serious...

The even better way to do it is to weld a 6ft pole to the top of your car and moun the RD on the top of that and just run the wires through the pole. This should allow you to "see" over the other cars in traffic. :lol: :lol: :lol:
