As anyone knows who's been around this obsession since the Cincinatti Microwave days........Mikey didn't get in this business to be 2nd best. You would also know that he doesn't move unless pushed.
I don't think the $1500 remote M3s upset him too much, but the RedLine will not be tolerated.........for very long that is.:p
Ridiculous, doesn't work:
"new V1"= Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
"v2"= The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search:
Give a search that would work, then be critical. The search button on these forums suck, plain and simple.
I'll be honest: if Valentine Research had come out with a remote custom-installed RD with front and back receivers and arrows on the display, I would own one (and probably more than one). I'm sure I'm not alone in this, either. If he's not upset by that, he sure as hell ought to be. :p
GPS capabilities are the only thing besides stealth that the V1 needs, as far as I am concerned.
On the Stealth issue, we already hear stories of Redlines being detected by the Spectre. On the GPS issue, the stories of TruLock failures are never ending. So what we have is a company who is just tossing crap out for the consumer to work the bugs out of for them and calling it "progress". I call it premature ejaculation, and the consumer is the one getting spooged.
I'm happy to wait until Mike releases something that he KNOWS is ready for prime time.
I agree that all the V1 needs is GPS & stealth. But with any progress there are always tweaks that need to be made, even with the V1. The difference is VR doesn't promote progress, they promote complacency which is not a good thing. Someone needs to give belscort a run for there money, but no one is willing to try.
I will have a new respect for Mike V if he is working on a flawless GPS and stealth unit. But we all know he will never do it.
