Stinger - High-end speed trap protection
never heard of it here

escort & valentine have cornered the market

the stinger seems better suited for picking up cameras based on the fifth gear video, you'd have to test it on crested roads with instant on radar and laser to see how it stack up vs the v1 & 9500

I recommend going with a laser jammer since most police dept use those unless you are in a state that doesn't allow them Radar detectors are just a waste of money

Well you need both. For instance along GA400 you encounter KA band between exits 5 and 7 (Sandy Springs Police), but laser south of Exit 5 and north of exit 7 (Buckhead and Alpharetta Police).

True true. My experience has been that as long as you are not the first one or next to a larger vehicle, you are pretty safe from Radar.

Laser is an interesting beast though

How's the wait going for your F10?

The 9500ci is my personal choice and by far the most popular choice for owners of high end cars. I own a company that integrates the display into rear view mirrors and the 9500ci outsells the V1 10:1.
