If interstate tickets are the issue spend that on a bearcat and/or handheld CB. Speed on while the bear checks roll in.

Whats the point of a sports car if you're not going to enjoy it?

Not to add fuel to a fire but I did do a search on the subject before posting. Most of the responses were old. Some as far back as 2002. with technology changing at light speed a couple of years makes a huge difference in what is out there. I doubt anybody on this site is sitting in front of a 6 or 7 year old computer. I guess the bottom line is if you don't want to post a reply to a question...don't

They make racetracks for that, right?

If you must have a bleepy box on your visor buy a V1 or a 9500. The 9500 has some neat features (GPS) but is slightly less sensitive. Neither one will prevent you from getting a ticket.
