I think that the Valentine 1 has won just about every comparison- so it's a safe bet

Valentine one, then the Passport 8500. Both have been tested and retested and found to be top performers over and over again.

The Bel 985 would come third, I think.

Does that disable a police's ability to detect your speed??

I was waiting for my car to have new tires put on. I think it was Car and Driver. The range on the Bel and Escort was superior.

I don't know bud, all the tests I have looked at put the V1 and the 8500 solidly in first or second. I know that the Bel is pretty good but not as good as the V1/8500.
