The day I have to cross off bright red from my next car purchase choice will be the day I get the Uber app.

I know what you mean, however the color red triggers the brain to be more aggressive while triggering adrenaline. And without getting into something beyond my knowledge, it seems to cause other drivers to act poorly around you. But I have only owned one red car and saw little trouble (never pulled over in it).
All i know is the blue color stands out to me and I would love to have one!

I think it depends on the city too. When I first moved, there was a toll highway I would use and one time a cop was just waiting on the ramp. I went on the ramp with some other cars and the cop started following me even though I was going the speed limit and everyone else was passing me. They tailed me for a good 5-10 minutes before giving up. On my way back, I'm not sure if it was the same cop but they did it again but for < 5 minutes then gave up.

I have had similar situations where they tail for no apparent reason other then the color.

I've been driving this big red SUV the last few months and never had a cop problem, as well as my other bright red cars.:rollingla

I always have this feeling that cops in EU work very differently from North America. Correct me if I am wrong.

Either way, I am not saying one would definitely get in trouble in a red car, but when I was in my Accord Coupe V6, which is technically better at straight-line acceleration than my 8, I never seem to get any attention from the cops, and I floor that V6 pretty often as well. Maybe they were just like, "Eh, it's just a gray Honda."

That's good.

The BHR coils work better with a tune that changes dwell settings. You can get OEM revision C coils as well.
