Two cars driving side by side on the freeway (speeding of course), one has a 8500 the other a V1. K band goes off on both at the same time. The driver with the 8500 hits his brakes and slows down. Driver with the V1 keeps going because directional arrow is pointing to a house on the side of the road. V1 driver laughs at the 8500 driver who is still looking for the cop who is not there as 18 wheelers pass him by.
Senario two:
Two same drivers side by side. KA band goes off on both. 8500 driver slows down and so does V1 driver. 8500 driver looks for cop but cant find him anywhere for a few miles and figures his 8500 is on the blink so he speeds back up again. V1 driver notices arrow is pointing to the rear and getting stronger. Soon the V1 driver (still doing the speed limit) notices little piggy hauling azz from behind and blows by him. V1 driver smiles as his direction arrow points forward and the singnal starts to fade. V1 driver speeds back up again. V1 driver sees 8500 driver pulled over a few miles later.
Senario three:
V1 driver notices 8500 driver has put his detector on ebay and has bought a V1. V1 driver smiles cause his insurance has not gone up and he did not have to pay any tickets knowing that the extra 100.00 spent has paid for itself many times.
Happy Memorial day everyone.

And if anyone know anything about how a radar detector works will know what direction the detection is coming from! The direction indicators are just a luxury your paying $100+ extra dollars for! Its totally a personal choice!
Its not like the V1 is soo superior(if at all) to the 8500 in terms of performance!
