I dont even think its growing on you I'm just seeing less ridiculous photos where the cameraman was laying on the ground trying to make the grilles look as big as humanly possible to start an online comments war haha so you probably always would've liked it if it was accurately represented

It's a myth, they use radar guns for speeding here they will go after anyone, otherwise everyone would get black cars and go 100mph always. I see more red tesla than any other car on the road here and I'm sure they don't get pulled over more than white/black/grey m3. I feared the same when selecting IOMG but after talking to others this is what they mentioned to me.

I ordered a Ferrari Red F80 and the day I took delivery I got a ridiculous speeding ticket only 45 mins into my first drive. Not saying the "red myth" is true but it sure affected me. I was driving next to my brother in his white Integra Type-R, both of us cruising at 10 miles over and I got busted. Didn't even look at him.

I mean in that situation they go after one person right? Unless there were two cop cars? Whoever gets caught in the net.. maybe he was a JDM fan boy

Lmao similar story - 1st week with Sakhir Orange and 2 tickets.

I also think it had to do recalibrating my brain coming from a Fire Orange NA engine (e92) to a twin turbo setup in the F80.

But boy was that first week a downer.

I think that's why IoMG is such a good color choice in my opinion. It definitely stands out, but it's also not radioactive yellow like SPY. I think it's a really good sweet spot.

I am getting Fire Orange but with an Escort Max 360 detector I always see them before they see me. I don't understand those of us that purchase very expensive/high performance vehicles and don't just add a little protection into the mix.

Can't have one in the state of Virginia and if caught, its a hefty fine. Almost worth getting one anyway.

That's the one state I believe.

Oh I have a good radar detector and I use Waze. Let's just say I drive "rapidly" and don't want any additional attention. Red (and orange for that matter) appear fast even when not significantly speeding.

Interesting. My best friend is a cop and when I do manage to get pulled over it's not easy to give me a ticket given his rank in the NYPD.
