For those times that youthful exuberance gets the better of us and the speedometer gets a little “juiced”, has anyone implemented a radar detector/laser jammer combo that they would recommend?
I’ve got a few Valentine One’s that I’m considering sending in for an update and I’m giving some consideration to an AL Priority jammer system. If anyone has any experience with these brands or another combo I sure would like to hear your thoughts.

I just mounted my escort Redline in the new GT. I don't know about jammers. Since you never drive your cars with us. We don't care. I have a blendmount. Had one in the 05 for years.

For years been using V-1 plus Blinder HP905 for total protection ....on my last install went with Escort ZW5 shifters with the Max 360c and very happy with it....the ZW5 shifters are wireless which i like not having to run wires thru the firewall .....

Stay far, far away from Rocky Mountain radar jammers.

Maybe his mankini is too tight?

^^^ I think that confirms it.... There is a forum for just about anything.

^^Just wait for Vision Zero to reach your area (if it isn't steamrolling already).

I think most of us here will be trying to learn everything we can regarding countermeasures.

^^^ Edit, just watched some of that video, wow, made it obvious that I have not used a radar detector in at least 10 years. Speed camera notification I would love to have, but in Europe. 2016 Lemans trip I think I got 4, subsequent trips got a couple more (getting better looking for them).

Never heard of it. Just looked, quick, that is scary.

If you want to exceed the speed limit, I learned a long time ago (and re-learned the hard way a few times since); never be the car that is:
1. Alone
2. Out front, or
3. Fastest

Blend with traffic and wait for someone to pass you who needs to get there faster and is willing to be the "rabbit."
Every time I've had a speeding ticket, I ignored one of these rules, and the radar/laser detector didn't make much difference.

The movement is beginning to swell. If we wait and hold firm our belief that engineers determine what a safe speed limit will be, it will be too late. The NTSB has become a political entity, or maybe in fairness, it was hi-jacked by a political body.

I don't want a country that has every mile of road under speed surveillance. I also want engineers to determine what the safe limit of speed should be.

Ignore at our own peril.

The features of the Escort are great, and I love my old escort, but the Radenso’s small size seems best-suited to our eensy GT cockpits.
