All sports cars suffer the state and local police and sheriff profiling issues, not just the Z. They do what they do because it is what it is...easy and consistent revenue.

No, it doesn't.

LOL! My insurance never asked for the color of my car. Just make/model/VIN. I've owned two red cars, silver, grey, and now a yellow one, so i would have to say that is completely false.

I think they can tell the color by the VIN.

^^ no they cant

370Z VIN no Decoding!

Mostly irrelevant, but i drove around a BRIGHT YELLOW H1 for about 3.5 years and i was always getting pulled over by Florida Highway Patrol for "Random Vehicle Inspections".

Record: 4 stops in a 3 hour span.

Had a Red Supercharged RSX for 3 years.

0 Tickets

Pulled over 2 times and got warnings, I was nice to teh cops and they returned the favor.

Fortunate I guess.

Ohh yeah, blew by a Cop @ 145. He caught up minutes later, got behind me.......ran my plates.......and nothing. Just kept going. My heart was through my chest, I thought I was going to jail for sure. I actually think it was so fast he never got to see exactly what the car looked like or he was looking down not paying attention. Last time I went street racing. Been about 18 months now.

either ways, bright colours are an attention grabber & some cops will find excuses to pull over.

just drive normally is the moral here.

TX_370 · 07-22-2009, 01:18 PM

I have a white one and havent really gotten much attention from cops *knocksonwood*

Yeah... its easier for a cop to think up a dumb reason to pull over a bright sports car
Rather than hunt down rapists, thieves, n violent criminals.
The world is goin to sh$t n the law is fighting crime by stopping crayola colored cars.
Nice job 5-0. So many criminals making 90k a year n buying sports cars. Lol.
Wat wimps!!!
