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!
