what kinda good deals can you get on a 8500 x50? V1's getting a little old IMHO, the 8500 and the new Bell outperforms it by a bit now.

well i had a passport 8500 x50 and drove right by a cop standing outside his car with the radar gun pointing at traffic and it never went off at all, so i vowed to not buy another one, v1 is way better than passports!

You DO realise that the hardware is updated in the V1? They have all looked the same for a loooooong ass time. They are not the same.

Same thing happens with the V1

I've had both and prefer the V1 only because it tells the direction of the bogey. Ideally I'd go with the V1 and Zr3 shifter.

You do know that instant on radar guns have to be on for your radar detector to go off. If he wasn't pulling the trigger your detector will do nothing. Smart cops don't just sit there and shoot everyone because then they're alerting everyone one of us with radar detectors to their presence. I just sent my V1 in to be upgraded and will never use another type.
