I just got two white racing stripes on my torch red FRC and it seems to be a big target for cops that says hey pull me over.

it's not just torch red...I have had my magnetic red 98 about a month and I turn heads all the time, although no one that really could hang has ever acted like they wanted to race..

I heard many women over the years say they wish they had a red sports car, so basically that is why I got mine.. a chick magnet LOL

Yes, it does attract alot of attention. But i love it.

Too bad I can not drive in the fast lane of the freeway anymore, its much to risky. It might be hard to tell the officer that I wasnt speeding driving in the fast lane.

I have a Torch red Zo6 and I discovered that it gets no more attention than my previous vette(Magnetic Red).If you speed in any car you will get pulled over if Radar is used.No matter what you drive or it's colour.I was pulled over last year on a quiet highway doing 149mph and a OPP(Ontario Canada)came up behind me.I slowed down when I saw his lights in my rearview mirror (in the distance).I got pulled over he yelled at me for 5 minutes...then said I had a nice car.Didn;t give me a ticket because he said he didn;t know how fast I was going...He could have charged me with LOTS of offenses but all he said was it was a nice car,and stop showing off.I don;t know if I would have had my *** in court if the car was Magnetic Red???
