No matter where you fall on the Passport 8500 vs. V1 debate, you've got to admire the fools at radartest.com. Their latest article is titled "Summer 2001 Detector Test" and begins

"Nobody likes getting a ticket but protection from radar and lasers does come at a price. So for our latest test, aside from measuring the performance of high-end models we also tested some value-priced detectors to see if they deliver less performance in exchange for their lower cost. We gathered up 11 models from six manufacturers and ran them through our battery of field tests. Here's what we found."


Would you believe no Escort/Passport detectors are included? Would you believe V1 is not included?

Give them a click but don't give them one iota of credibility.

www.radartest.com to see for yourself.
