Valentine 1 is what I usually see recommended as the best out there.

YUP, I have a V1 and hands down the best radar detector on the market. Here is their website...I believe you can't buy them in stores. Only through their website and I believe they advertise heavily in Car and Driver type mags.

what if cups find out about this shit in your car?
They shoot you?

If by cups you mean cops, it depends on where you are. In some states, they will confiscate it and ticket you. In other states, it's perfectly legal to have a radar detector.

In Canada, they probably send you to the Gulag like the communists they are.

In Texas it is perfectly legal to own a radar detector...[

Damn, I just bought Escort's best. Didn't know anything about the Valentine model.

The only state I KNOW is a problem with radar detectors is Virginia. I have to believe there are more but that's the only one I've seen AND, at least on the major interstates, they post it on highway signs so you know it as you enter the state.

Ken, I also have an Escort (8500).

Never been pulled over since I bought it 2 years ago. As you can tell by my name, I'm not a speed limit driver. You should be pretty happy with it.

Have you seen any sites (other than Escort or Valentine) that compare the two? I'm just curious what makes the V1 so much better? If it is that much better, I want one.
