Ever feel like people/cops treat you worse in a sport vs. "normal" car?
So I'm curious, for me I noticed people treat me much worse on the highway when I'm in a sporty car versus a "normal" one. Plus I feel like I have to drive super careful or cops will single me out. I have noticed them following me a few times too even though I was the best dang driver on the road at that moment.
Just wondering if it's all in my head or if anyone else has had this same experience?

Loud Exhaust, lowered car, missing front license plate and tinted windows seems to also attract extra attention from the cops. I always seem to be singled out by cops when I am cruising along at the same speed as everyone else around me. I usually get let go with warnings after my license checks out unless I was pulled over for speeding.
