    Once you get one, You won't look back.

    I dunno about 7 miles. I do know i picked up a Texas statie for 5 miles before i touched upon his range of attack though.

    that as well! If i could get one in the right price range i would jump on it. Plus like i said the possibility to put it through my hud is amazing!!! and that was on a completely flat highway that they got that range

    7 miles is insane.

    I will have to test it against my stalker radar one of these days on a straight deserted road.

    Never heard of a whistler just up and dying.

    Whistlers are decent. Whatever you do, stay away from cobra.

    lol. quality over quantity.

    Cobras have serious functionality problems. -- Range/Internals is one of them.

    I've tested a couple cobras against QT (Quick trigger), and they didn't so much as blink.

    V1 was all over it like white on rice even on a 1 second shot of radar.

    just search your local craigslist. bet you would be surprised what you find. You may not find a V1 but you may find a escort or something.

    get the serial id off it first and call asking about it.

    V1 will NOT service one if it's stolen and may even confiscate it.
