No, no I have not. Please cite two reliable sources. Neither of which can be a forum member, one of your "bros" or "this guy I know".

The "statistics" you claim of red colored cars doesn't exist.

What some are failing to realize, which may be an indicator...

The personality traits of an individual who chooses one color over another. The vehicle color has nothing to do with the rate of being stopped. How said person tends to drive that vehicle is the key.

I'm fine in my DB Z. I do the speed limit, occasionally 5 over. Cops have no reason to pull you over If you're driving normally.

I've been pulled over twice in my Ultra Yellow Z, but both at night.

I did exactly that before I bought my redline!

like was said before you where going faster than the flow of traffic that what make you stick out. good rule of thumb is go with the flow or 5 over in town and 10 on HWYs. most cops won't pull you over. i've lost my licence twince now for speeding(racing) i know both on the hwy @ 145+
