Yes, it is a ticket magnetic! It grabs tons of attention from teenager to cops...

*knock on wood* I don't have a ticket yet....

and i wouldn't have it any other way!

Size:  533.2 KB I am going on 2 years of Red Pcar ownership and no tickets to date. I got more police attention on the White Porsche turbo and more tickets I owned before.

Color choice trumps ticket potential every time IMO.

If you are worried, get a radar/laser system.

Great looking car. I've had a red 944 and two red 911s. No tickets. I currently have a gray 991 S cab and a silver 997.2 S coupe. No tickets. My wife received (earned?) her only ticket ever while driving our daughter's Mini (automatic, not an S), and I got my first since 1976 driving my silver Macan.

I find the "red cars = tickets" myth to be false.

I only drive red Porsches, and I've been doing it since 1998. I had more tickets in Speed Yellow which I bought one year.

Great car. Only the beige seats complement the red exterior IMO

Ticket magnet? Red cars were so unfairly singled out for tickets in the 60's it became the subject of protests. Those days thankfully are far behind us. Nowadays cops are so terrified of being branded a colorist they actually avoid writing up a red car and will go after the nice safe white ones. They can write up white cars all day long and nobody even thinks to accuse them of colorism.

Isn't color discrimination a violation?

Let us race. I also have a Guard Red.
Funny you mentioned about Red car. My wife and I were walking towards our parked car after church when a kid behind us (not knowing that we are the owner) mentioned to his parents, "That is screaming for a speeding ticket". So even when parked, I will get a ticket! Which I got from a meter maid. No front license plate. A $50 fine.
