Red 370 State Trooper Profiling

The red on the Z really is a beautiful color, but any of you guys with red got pulled over because it's red...I was driving about 80mph in my Z on the Interstate, and i could see the Red Z for what seemed like miles away.

i also heard that white has the same issue.

Yellow and Red will always be the worst. Red of course is the worst.

yellow is a too in the face colour followed by red & blue.

black gets attention also

red is officially the worst.

We had a chart showing what color cars were being pulled over on average over the years and red was through the roof.

it had to do with the personality (speeders) of the drivers and the color cars they liked.

how did the other colours result in??

link?

tonmed123 · 07-21-2009, 07:22 PM

I heard the same thing...Lucky me. I got RED.

Supergoji · 07-21-2009, 07:23 PM

i would think black got it the least or silver.

nogoodname · 07-21-2009, 07:26 PM

silver is the friendly one

the same reason why poles in parking lots or on sidewalks have bright color bands around them so you don't hit them. They just catch your eye. I think the state troopers.. or in cali they are called CHP i guess are just jellous that they don't own a sports car themselves. And the ones that I know of that do don't really car unless you are doing something really dumb.

nogoodname · 07-21-2009, 07:32 PM

over here it's winter 6 months of the year. so whites & silvers blend in LOL

anything else stands out

TARDCORE · 07-21-2009, 07:36 PM
