i got the first generation (2003).. the round exaust.. on my 2003.5 and i must say it's kinda loud.. apparently, it,s the louder of the 2 types..
and yeah, a bright coloured car with wings will surely be speed trapped alot easier than a 1994 brown toyota camry doing the same speed

some cars are definteley cop magnets!! I own two cars, a Mustang, and my MS6, I drive the same in both... (obviously I'm the same driver) but I get tailed by cops all the time in my Mustang. Mustangs have a reputation, much like any car with aftermarket wheels/exhaust/etc. I've been followed by cops on numerous occassions when I wasn't even speeding. Now my MS6 which looks completely stock (but would whoop my mustangs butt), I've sped right past cops and they don't even bother to look my way.

same goes for my sportbike.. they look at me and give me the eye often..
btw, almost got another ticket last night
a cop going the opposite direction and i saw me on the rear wheel ( front about 2 feet in the air going about 50 mph in a 30 mph zone..
i went oh-ho... there was concrete seperating the opposite lanes so i would have to gone to the other end and make a u-turn to catch me.. i looked in my mirrors to see if he was speeding torward the end and make that U-turn... i was ready for warp speed if he was to do so.. (sssh)
Never had a ticket before the MSP... got three since then... first one was 72 in a 40 told the officer it as my first ticket ever which it was... he dropped it to 59 in court...
second 2 were well over 85 in a 55 and a 65... pulle right over ( one time so quick he didnt even get his lights on) admited to being a duche and there wasnt much traffic either time and they gave me a break with... a non speeding fine..

Eh, I had a beat up 94 grand am.... I was always (every week)getting pulled over to see if I had insurence on the thing pretty much. The poor car was 3 different colors! lol It was the perfect construction workers beater.
Now that i got my p5 and my f150. I haven't been pulled over once and I speed all the tiem in both. I never did in my grand am for fear of tickets.

My Story
I had several tickets in a row last spring while driving my 'speed. I had it for several years before that and never got pulled over, maybe being a woman helped some.
The "best" ticket out of the bunch came out in the middle of nowhere. A county boy clocked me just before his county line at 93 in a 45 and by the time I crossed into "his" county I had only hauled it down to 82...ouch.
What followed was a 10 min question and answer session about why I was going that fast ( really was late for work). He looked dumb-founded at finding a late 30's woman behind the wheel. It actually made me laugh when I finally got to drive off. (hah)
