Well if your one of the first camaros on the road in your area your definitely gonna get noticed by cops and everyone else. If I were a cop I would probably pull you over just to get a better look at it.

 As for me, I pretty much always do 10 over, so I won't pull anyone over for it...

Ummmm ... yah ... this has actually happened to me a few times over the years. I have been pulled over and wondered what I did wrong only to hear "Nice car, can you pop the hood for me?" It DOES happen and if you handle it properly, it can help you in the future when you actually DO screw up. LOL.

im not going to name names, but i have several cop friends that pull people over for who they are, not just what they drive. but sometimes they tell me they pull over certain cars more than others. profiling is what cops do everyday, wether or not you want to believe it.
trust me, if a cop wants to pull you over, he will. there are thousands of reasons he could pull you over for that you probably havent even heard of. |

lice need to have "probable cause" to pull you over. If you give them the smallest reason they can pull you over. i'm sure there will be some throughout the nation to pull you over just to get a look.

I could shed some light on this...
Been a "cop" for roughly 18 years..Never had a ticket quota. I have been pulled over, hum, lets see...at least 50-60 times in 23 years of driving. I can say I deserved the tickets I got and there was a reason to pull me over. Some things that are not obvious that will get you stopped if a "cop" wants to, other than a moving violation. Dog in lap Air freshener Plate light out or dangling License plate cover or trim Driving with interior lights on One armed driving Probably 30 more if I thought harder. I myself rarely write anything under 15 mph as I speed myself. Do I take liberty of my position especially driving a T/A or my new Camaro...yes. Any "cop" who tells you otherwise is a f-ing liar. To answer the other part of do "cops" target fast cars? Yes and no. Being a performance enthusiast myself, I tend to believe that "most" operators of your typical performance car can handle it. But not necessarily the case. I have never heard of an officer in all my years that specifically goes after Vettes, Camaros, T/A's, classic cars..I really never heard of it. As well, never came across an officer that specifically profiles. Yes, we do "profile" per se, but in a general way. Lets say there is a hot area of narcotics sales and trafficking. We ("cops") know that black males that drive two tone Caprices or Dodge Magnums are, from past intel, likely selling or transporting. Other than that, I believe there is no set criteria by officers that specifically target fast cars....Unless you are going fast.
