The Valentine One, installed stealthily, is the way to go, IMO, if you own an AMG. That and a track pass for your local racetrack. 
I saw a 2004-2007 E55 the other day. He was behind me, and driving normally. The road opened ahead to three lanes (each way) and he gently pulled out and passed a car or two to get in front. Once the light changed and the road ahead was fully open (and clear), he opened it up. I haven't seen a car disappear from view that quickly in a long time. The last thing I saw was his brake lights, on for quiet a while... 
@Tyler - I find naming cars is best if either a name jumps out immediately, or you wait and a name will present itself at the proper time. Either way, that is a beautiful AMG! |
Yeah, LIDAR apparently isn't cheap-- I live in California and i've only seen Highway Patrol use LIDAR. And you're right. It is point-to-point narrow beam, rather than spread.
First time I discovered factory installed radar detection was in my Uncle's 90s-era Saab. That put a grin on my face!!
