Sports cars are no more likely to be pulled over than any other vehicle, however, as I eluded to earlier, I speed more often when in a sports car. So the correlation is a bit skewed because people who drive sports cars often tend to drive them as such, and therefore are caught speeding more often. You also need to understand that with those statistics provided to you (think Toyota Camry), you have to account for volume of that particular type of car model on the road. Since the Camry is one of the most popular cars on the road, it stands to reason that by sheer numbers, it would be one of the most pulled-over vehicles.

Often when "red sports cars" are pulled over, you jump to the conclusion that cops are on the lookout for any red sports car. In reality, a disproportionately large number of sports cars are red, and likely to be driven by someone who likes to "blow out the cobwebs" more often: and thus you end up with more red sports cars being pulled over.
I dunno about that. I have only been pulled over once in my truck and that was because the tags on the trailer I was pulling were expired. I drive my Mustang pretty rarely its in a storage unit half the year and projects I've done to it have kept it parked for years at a time and all so in the 12 or so years I've had it I've only put about 12,000 miles on it maybe. Been pulled over 7-8 times. Got pulled over last summer. cop said they was a report I was driving erratically.. Lie.. I've never gotten a ticket in all those times I've been pulled over. They just want to check me out. Been givin the full on DUI check a couple times. That is irritating.. I've had them have me on the side of the road touching my nose walking the line and all that. I dont even drink any more havent for 20 years so that pretty insulting. I stopped it one time told the cop thats enough. If your going to arrest me do it. My experiance has been I have to be prepared to get pulled over in the Mustang..

I didn't show pics of the naked ladies who were drunk and got out and came back to my car trying to talk me out of arresting their male driver for DUI as the thread is about "speeding". [/QUOTE]
Snip.

Did it work?
