Tickets!

Montez

No tickets, occasional look from pedestrians, cops don't notice it... Tons of nice cars in the DFW area. Like 135I said the same applies down here, they like there "big ole trucks" as my my wife calls them "hick mobiles".

Had the Z for 10.5 months, only pulled over for a "warning" for no front license plate...grr.

I'm at about 7 months, no pull overs no tickets. But I use a radar/laser detector and I keep a sharp lookout. I've almost gotten nailed a couple of times, but I was just a little quicker than the cop on the draw (downshift with foot off the gas vs. him turning on the gun). It's only a matter of time before they get me though.

No tickets while driving my Z, thankfully, I guess I've only driven it about 5 times though.

I did get a speeding ticket in my old S2000 for going 45 in the 35, I think that car was a magnet for trouble, at least for me. Got another ticket for no front plate on my G35 coupe. A bit ridiculos to pull me over and go through the trouble just for me to put a front plate on.

I imagine I will get pulled over for no front plate on my Z, no big deal, I will just pay the fine.

First off, no tickets or even stops so far. V1 is doing it's job perfectly!

Second, the "reports" that show red cars "get pulled over more" should be looked at a little closer.

Red cars make up a large portion of the "pool" of cars used in those reports. Red cars get pullled over proportionately to their % of total cars. In those reports, gray or silver cars actually get pulled over almost double compared to their % of total cars.

If I didn't explain it right, here's a little visualization, for example:

Total Cars:

Red - 40%
Silver/Gray - 20%
Yellow - 10%
Black - 30%

Tickets:

Traffic Stops:

Red - 35%
Silver/Gray - 35%
Yellow - 5%
Black - 25%

Obviously, numbers were made up to favor my argument, but closely reflect the "reports" I was able to find on the Internet.

LOL , I have gotten 3 of these at the same light in my last car. Needless to say I go around the light now. I got one ticket for making a right on red because I didn't come to a complete stop before making the right turn--lame!

16 mph? were you driving or idling?

golfgirlrobin

No tickets, but I did have a cop follow me into a parking lot because he wanted to see it up close.

Where I live, we call those jacked up trucks "Penis mobiles" cause you know those guys are compensating for something.

NO tickets, knock on wood for about the past 20 yrs in the US. Had about 10 speeding tickets in 5 yrs in Germany back in the 90s.

Only one HOV violation in my truck about 3yrs ago.

But I will agree that I'm getting unwanted attention from the cops in the 370, not so much on the 350 I had.

Don't get me wrong, I love this car and absolutely LOVE driving it... but I feel I get a whole lot less attention then the Roush Mustang I was driving before. I used to get the cops attention all the time in that car and don't feel it now. Knock on wood, no tickets in either car but I learned to drive real careful in that car...

Two issues -- One was at an intersection where I was slowing to turn right. A cop had a guy pulled over right at the edge of the intersection. As I slowed and downshifted, the sync-rev revved and both the cop and the guy getting pulled over looked up, like "huh?" I think they thought I was trying to make a point, or something.

In the other issue, it was about 3:00am and I was close to home in a residential area. A cop pulled out from the side of the street where I guess he had been running radar (though I got no hit on my detector and was not speeding). He was blacked-out and there was very little light, so I know it wasn't just forgetfullness. He followed me for a couple of turns at residential speed -- about 30-35mph. It weirded me out a little, but he finally broke off.

2 Tickets since June of last year, one dismissed because of a defensive driving course, most recent was this past Saturday, yes, a Red 370Z DOES attract a hell of a lot of attention, i've never been harassed by cops as much as I have in this car in my life.

Actually some research has shown that red cars in general attract more attention from police.

I've gotten a few tickets/warning with my Z, but that's just a normal occurrence for me every so often. I never accrue enough points to lose my license or anything like that, usually I just pay em online and am done with it. I don't drive reckless, but I do drive over the limit, like 80 in a 65, cruising in the left lane. If traffic is slow, I just move with it - I don't swerve in and out or anything anymore. But since I'm speeding, every so often a cop decides to pull me over, even tho I pass the vast majority at 80 and they don't budge. It just depends on the cop *shrug*

I had $500 cash with me on Bullrun in case I had to pay tickets on the spot, but despite no radar detector/scanner and driving hella fast (120 over some highway stretches) I never got snagged over the course of 3 days. Of course, hahaha, we were always pretty far behind so we ended up passing a lot of other Bullrunners pulled over ahead of us :P

I did however get off once last year for 111 in a 55. I'm good at being calm and polite with cops now, so he cut me a break since I 1) didn't try to run and 2) didn't carry my speed (he saw me speed up to pass and honk goodbye to a few friends in front of me, then coast back to the limit). Being polite and helpful helped too no doubt. He ticketed me for "unclear plates" since I have my front plate on my dash. He could have cut up my license right in front of me since 111 is twice over the 55 national speed limit, which is grounds for immediate revocation of your license.

The best (worst?) part is I simply downshifted and floored it to pass my buddy one car ahead of me before letting completely off the gas - so in that time I went from ~60 to 111 and I honestly did not realize I had accelerated so quickly!! (I was already coasting back down to ~60 when I noticed the cop pull out behind me so I never bothered looking at how fast I was going) It wasn't long after getting the 370Z, so I didn't know better
