Not even close.
The Beltronics Sti-R Plus is often touted as the best detector money can buy.
The Valentine V1 is routinely touted as the second best detector money can buy, but it's slightly cheaper than the Sti-R and therefore slightly better value.
There are seriously entire internet forums dedicated to thoroughly testing radar detectors and this is the general consensus they've come up with.
The Beltronics sti-R plus will run you about $1300-$1400. This is by far the filet mignon of radar detectors.
The Valentine V1 is $400
The Escort Passport 9500 series is also in the ~$500 range.
Google 'veilguy' (he's considered somewhat of a 'guru' on radar detector internet forums) and check out his video reviews.

^^^ Truth!! I've had at least 20-30 saves from my stir-plus and about a dozen saves by my laser interceptor laser jammers in the near two years of owning my F... No tickets so far, but have had a couple of close calls even with this setup.... Nothing is failproof!!

I have the K40 jammer/detector, it has saved me more times then I can count.
However, on an open road with nobody in front of you, you cannot beat an instant on radar from a cop hiding off street. This is how I recently got a ticket for doing 79 in a 60, lawyer knocked it off to a cell phone infraction.

About a year ago I was doing my daily commute on the I-680 in my RX350 and as any usual morning I was in lane all the way in the left following the the flow of traffic at about 70 MPH. So halfway to school I get pulled over and the cop ask me my license, registration, and insurance. The I got whole lecture about how young kids can get killed while speeding and I was ignorant to do so. So basically I was doing 70 in a 65 and I got written up for doing 70 in a 65...
I do 70-78 mpg on i-880 everyday commuting to and from work. I've had CHP behind me many times but they haven't pulled me over. (knock on wood). They also have reason to pull me over because my front windows are tinted and I dont have a front plate. My dad on the other hand has gotten pulled over on the i-5 doing 84mph... CHP told him if you keep it under 80, they'll usually leave you alone.

Sounds like that cop was just looking for some one to pull over... probably happened over by danville/san ramon I'm assuming?

This wasn't in the F, but my old civic. I went to a Braves game with my dad, Bobby ***'s very last game before retiring, we stayed at the stadium after to watch the tribute. So I'm driving home its about 12:45am and right before my exit on the highway is a huge hill, I have my passport on and its not detecting anything, and I'm tired as hell so I push the crapy car up to 90, well as soon as I hit the top of the hill boom radar goes off and i slam on the brakes but it was too late, highway patrol was sitting waiting for someone to fly over the top of the hill. Cop was cool and I explained to him where I was and that I was tired and had to be up in 5 hours to go to work. He ended up wiriting me up for doing 85 in a 70mph zone. Ticket wasn't bad but Ga enacted a "Super Speeder" law, where if you are going 15 over the speed limit on a 2 lane highway or road you get extra points and a nice $250 fine added to your ticket. Only other speeding ticket I've had was when I was 18, went to court and the judge lowered it when she saw it was my first, I got even luckier as she liked my last name and reduced the ticket enough that I ended up with no points from that one :-D

I was going 120mph in a school zone and passed a school bus over the double yellow line, but ya dawg I smoked that Integra Type R.
Cop pulled me over and was like "yo is this the new F?" I said hell yeah.
He said youre going to live with your auntie in Bel Air.

Well, wasnt in my ISF but it was in my M3. Was heading to Palm Springs with the GF. Was about midnight, cause we left LA around 9pm on a Friday. I did about 75 MPH the whole way. Then the speed limit jumps up to 70 when the 10 Fwy turns into an open stretch of nothingness so I bumped up to 90 MPH. Right when I settle at 90 MPH, I see red and blue lights flashing. CHP was blacked out behind me and I never knew it!!!! He was cool though, let me off with a warning and a welcome to Palm Springs.... LOL....
