Does your Z attract the attention of law enforcment?
 
The other day i was driving around town in my Nismo with my lights off because it was still day light out and i was pulled over and ticketed for having my lights off 20 minutes past sundown.:icon14: It is my fault for not having my lights on auto mode but i dont think it would have mattered since it was still very much light out. I feel as though in a normal situation in a different car i would have just been told to turn my lights on or i wouldnt have been pulled over at all but since i was in my Z i feel as though i was targeted and cited. Very petty.

Does anyone else receive this petty behavior from law enforcement or am i just unlucky?

Knock on wood no, but the z is a flashy car, do you have tints on it? More than likely was looking for bigger things (fishing) other than having your headlights not on. Where abouts in pa are your from?

ahh yes i do have slight window tint that was done by the previous owner but thankfully my windows were down at the time. i guarantee i would have received a fine for the tint as well :shakes head:. I'm from Dover in northern York County.

I have a black all stock f150 4door lariat and my Z. The Z definitely attracts cops more than the truck. I live in south texas where everyone has trucks. Ive been pulled over for "no front plate" even though the plate was on, going 56 in a 55 (no ticket given). I have a front and rear dash cam and he told me they were illegal radar jammers. So long story short, yes especially in Texas a bright blue Z attracts pigs.

I don't think the 370z or corvette or Porsche drivers get ticketed as much as the Mustang, Camaro and other American muscle cars do. Also, I think the 350Z drivers these days get more tickets.

Basically, the 370Z, Corvettes, Porches are driven by older white males, mostly rich. Fast cars driven by younger males get more tickets. Older sports car that are modded (big wings or loud exhausts) are also likely to get tickets.

Bright red NISMO, no problems so far. <knocks on wood>

I thought the same thing. i drive very mindfully in my Z due to how flashy it is. i hardly ever speed and i always follow traffic rules. I was baffled when he walked back from his car with a citation in hand.

When the cop printed a warning for my excessive 1mph over speeding, it said 350z on it.... not sure if just stupid or hes trying to sneak in a passive aggressive insult

Did you tell him how gay his uniform looked, and ask him if he was a member of the Village People?:rofl2:

Nothing like my 1990 300zxtt did. That car was a cop magnet.

Honestly unless you're rices out you don't attract any attention unless you're doing something to attract attention. I've been LE for 23yrs and 8 of those were in traffic on a motorcycle. Cars that I ha
got on my nerves were Prius, Smart Cars and any Minivan. BTW......I drive a BP boosted 15' Nismo.
