I don't have any data to prove it, but my gut tells me that fancy or hot-rod looking cars are a gleeful target of police. First off, they probably feel relative safety in pulling those cars over, and then there's the "got 'em" factor.

Atlanta is very lax when it comes to any kind of traffic enforcement, so no incidents yet for the red 718s.

Despite the horrible traffic, it's kind of fun to drive down here, simply because there are no cameras or cops micro-enforcing road laws.

Edit: I've posted this before, but I once got pulled over by park police in DC while driving my E46 330i. The cop let me off because, as he said, "You have a proper transmission." I was driving a stick at the time.
