Living in a country and province where we are already highly taxed (8% provincial sales tax, 7% federal tax PLUS fuel taxes everytime you gas up) I'm really sick of supplementing the government's coffers with speeding fines. I'm looking into purchasing a V1 next time I go to the States. They aren't cheap (and with the exchange) I'll be paying some big $$$. Are they worth it? The reviews seem to be good, so I'm considering it. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

PS - Please don't mention "Why don't you simply drive slower?" This is a performance forum and anyone who has ever owned a Benz on a sunny Friday afternoon in the summer with a nearly empty three lane highway ahead of you should know - sometimes you just have to open the engine up. Of course, Murphy's Law will ensure that this is exactly the moment when, in a bizarre twist of the time-space continuum, a speed trap will pop up in front of you, seemingly out of nowhere and you will get nailed.
