I had a red 4 banger with 5.0 rims, got pulled over all the time. I have a black gt with headers, and no cats, and I haven't been bothered as of yet, but since i just got it, Im sure it's a matter of time.

I say as long as you're responsible and dont do too many stupid things you'll be fine. Cars dont get pulled over because of their color, they get pulled over for breaking the law...

In my experience a red stang is a cop magnet
+1

Well I guess it all depends on where you live. I know if I am going to a party and have a couple of beers, I would never think of taking the stang, I'll take the honda or exploder. I have been pulled over for several times in my stang and I drive it pretty conservatively. My honda and exploder are another story, I haul *** and have never....knock on wood...been pulled over. Well I did get pulled in the honda, but I was in uniform so I got over....68 in a 35. The I just got back from IRAQ and not used to driving without getting shot at or blown up thing worked.

My advise is dont crap in you own yard...which means dont act like a dumba$$ in your town, drive crazy somewhere else.

My two cents: No color doesn't mater, the driver does! And personally 90-92 are the best years, only because, they are MAS air, have larger front fenders for larger wheels, still have forged pistons, and have airbags which are ins. reductions... jmo though
