He's asking if the radar detector detects the VASCAR or other police radar before the cop is in sight or before he recieves the cars speed

Just look at the car and driver report from....03 or 04. Don't remember which year it was. But they did a test and the v1 scored a 97, the closest one to it was the passport 8500, scored only a 73. Then all of the rest were below them. That is how good it is. I have been on the highway and picked up for probably over two miles cops.

Yea, I only speed heavily when I'm in PA. And where I go there are hardly any cops, and none of them will chase you if you blow by them at 130. They only have crown vics over there.

I passed a statie on Rt. 380, uh once in the hundreds of times I've been there. At probably 125 mph, he put his car in gear, I didn't slow down. He put it back in park.
