I've had this cobra for 2 years, and never gotten a speeding ticket with it. I got a ticket going 83 in a 65 3 years ago, and I got it. It detects all the stuff you want detected. It's $90 on outpost, it doesn't have fancy direction arrows, and it doesn't detect 8 signals at the same time. What it does do is tell you if a cop is clocking you, and regardless of weather you have a $1000 or $100 detector you hit the brakes when it goes off. This thing has saved me from tons of tickets, as mentioned before if a cop flashes laser on ya you can't do much.

2 key features it has for your state:

VG-2 Alert?: Alerts the user when they are under surveillance of VG-2 radar detection.
VG-2 Undetectable: Provides immunity to VG-2 detection.

I'd much rather ride in someone's car who has a good detector and gather your own thoughts about it.

I bought a Cobra 9100 for about $75 around Christmas time and the thing sucks donkey balls. I'd say it catches maybe 25% of the speed traps if that. Only reason I purchased it was because Motor Trend said it was the best value in detectors under $200 and to hold me off until I had the extra loot for a V1 or Passport. It was a waste of money for the most part, the thing has more false alarms than anything else.
My sediments exactly...thanks Hella!

I bought a uniden for about $70 4 years ago. It has saved my a$$ many times although I would say it is far from perfect. My family has always been stingy (more or less) on radar detectors and have never stepepd up to a v-1 or passport model. We have had pretty much everything else: whistler, uniden, cobra, and bel. I definetely think for the lower end wal-mart type units uniden is the best. If you are going to drop some serious cash I would definetely get the v-1, I will eventually :rolleyes: My friend has the top-of-the-line BEL and I hate the thing. It falses all the time, everywhere even set in city x mode. It falses and different bands too, I wouldn't find it usefull whatsoever. Just my 2 cents
