Is it just me or do cops love to pull over Zs?
Man I haven't been pulled over this much since I had my 86' 300zx and was passing everything I could get around...is it that everyone knows just how fast this thing is or what? I used to drive alot faster in my Jetta cause noone bothered me...now I have to go slower than when I drove the jetta so I don't get pulled over left and right...anyone getting the same thing?

Try not speeding, that always helps.
nawh... I've been pulled over 3 times so far in my Z and I've had it for about 4 months now. In my old civic, I got pulled over twice in a span of 8 years. The officer never told me why he was pulling me over the first time, the other two times was for 'routine traffic checks' or 'just looking out for drunken drivers'. I don't mind though if that's why they really pulled me over. Eh, oh well. At least I haven't gotten a ticket yet. *knock on wood*

I still haven't been pulled over yet. Had the Z for 6 months now, but there have been a few close calls. There are quite a few speed traps in my area. Just gotta be careful.
The closest I got to being pulled over was at a light just this past weekend when I was next to an s2000. He started reving his engine, giving me a taste of his new exhaust system, which I must admit sounded amazing. So naturally I wasn't going to back down. Just as the light turned green, 2 police cruisers pulled out of a strip mall in front of us. I thought to myself.....I didn't do anything wrong......yet.
Turns out that they ended up pulling over a little Tercel about a block in front of us filled with a family of about 8 or so. I'm not kidding.
Pheeew.....

I haven't received one yet but it's been close. About 3 months ago I was driving along about to climb a bridge when a Le Mans passes me up and I instinctively follow. So we're speeding over the (Vincent Thomas) bridge here in So. Cali. and I spot a Chp in my rear view mirror. I slow down but the LM speeds up and sure enough the cop pulls him over. I almost felt responsible for him.

I've had my Z almost a year and have been pulled over only once. I got tagged doing 128 in a 55. When the trooper walked up he asked "Do you have any idea what I clocked you at?!" I smiled and said "I bet it was 120 or so". He actually chuckled as he asked for my license. He asked where I was going in such a hurry and I told him it was a new car and I was just stretching it's leggs a bit. He looked over the car, gave me my license back and told me to keep it within 10 miles of the speed limit and to have a nice day. I don't think I've gone 10 miles over the speed limit since.
