Sti driver..

I haven't seen a detector model yet that doesn't have manufacturing variance. When you are obessed with having the best, it is tempting to buy 10 detectors of the same model, test them all, keep the most sensitive and sell or return the other 9.

Oh and believe that Stealthjamal will do this. He has talked about it in the past

Sorry to hear about your STi. I have tested mine a lot and overall I am very impressed with it. I know for sure my V1 beats it with K band, but not by a huge margin. Ka on the other hand is too close to call. I had the chance to test the STi & V1 against some Ka @35ghz. I would say in terms of off axis and head on detection it was too close to call. The V1 did alert better when the Ka was behind my car, but only because it has the rear facing antenna.

Now if I compare my RX65 to my STi, the winner is CLEARLY the STi. My RX65 has been sent in for repairs once, but it just doesn't seem like a very hot RD. My STi beats it easy in K, Ka, and laser. However, I've read a lot of people on here are very impressed with their RX65's. Again, factory variance comes into play. But, there is NO way your Cobra should be able to out detect the STi. Unless your Cobra is some sort of factory FREAK! Even still I wouldn't think it could beat the STi overall. Maybe the Cobra was detecting itself leaking Ka, so it seemed like it had great range? lol

This is my experience as well

That is seriously hard core!!! I'd love to get my hands on a factory freak RX65. Seems like one of you have posted some vids of a real sensitive RX65.

This pretty much refelects my experiences with the STi and V1 too.

Personally I'd take pretty much anything posted by Alpine with a huge pinch of salt. Plenty of BS but not much of substance.
