Default RADAR DETECTOR??

I am sure this has been heavily hashed over but,
what are current suggestions on radar detectors?
I do more back road driving than city driving.
The temptation in a modded twin turbo is overwhelming
to go 120-140 every time I get into the car (alone).
v-1, escort, etc.??

Marty - IMHO, unless you truly want a hidden/stealth installation, the V-1 is the way to go. It has prevented legal walletectomies many a time.

Another vote for the Valentine 1 !!!

With the number of times mine has saved me, it probably offsets what I have spent of mods !!!!

If you do a search in the 993 forum, there was a post a year+ back about some cool above mirror mounting that improved on the suction cups. I still want to do this for my TT.

Has anyone figured out how to mount it and retain the use of both sun visors?
