I've owned 3 T2s, and have been pulled over 3 trillion times since 1999.. only 3 tickets I think.

2000
No front License Plate Ticket (TX)
It was mounted on the windshield, but since I was out at a local street racing spot, he said "If you want to hang out here, your car has to be perfect". He actually gave me a ticket. I never paid it, got ID'd at a party, had a warrant and spent the night in jail. Sucked, but didn't have to pay the ticket, time served... LOL

2007
Pulled over for driving "suspicious". Expired Registration Ticket
I was tuning my car, and hitting the low rpm/load areas. Cop said I drove too slow for the type of car I had, so he pulled me over. I was still running the previous owners tags... big no-no in AZ. Since I swapped the dash, there was a different VIN on the dash from the one on the firewall... So I was treated like a car jacker for a few minutes until that was straightened out. The cop actually took my license plate off the car, but still let me drive the car home.

2008
Speeding Ticket
The last one was bunk. There was a fart-can-Honda next to me speeding; actually passing me by, and I got pulled over. While the bike cop was writing the ticket, I was contemplating leaving the car running, maybe the gas fumes would make him pass out... LOL

I've been pulled over for:
Doing 60 OVER, yes 60 over, and walked away with no ticket.
Supposedly squealing the tires, but the cop really wanted to tell me about his 5.0... funny stuff
No tags, got away once, not so lucky the second time.
Speeding, Speeding and Speeding, but only got the ticket the time I wasn't speeding.
Once, I got pulled over for speeding, and told the cop I was coming back from a party were I was the DD. He let me go! (it was true too)

Its like rx7s are dazzling to the officers. I haven't had a single ticket in the 7 either.

1. I was driving home and the speed limit was 50km/h. I was going 70km/h or somewhere around there not exactly sure. Then I seen a car out the corner of my eye and immediately thought oh **** cop. Sure enough here he comes pulling out onto the street and I basically pulled over right away cause I knew it was for me. He comes to my door and says how fast were you going back there. I told him 60 and he said theres no way you were going 60. He also said I can judge speed with my eyes you were going atleast 80. So I argued that for a bit then he changed his subject to me drinking. He then puts me on the breathalyzer, of course I passed. Then he let me go. Definetly laim cop.

2. Going up cypress mountain with bcrotary. We were coming down and I was trying to catch up to the pack ahead so I sped up and a cop was going up. He seen us and turned around, put on his lights and pulled me over. I told him I was speeding 30km/h over, because I was trying to catch up to my buddies. He let me go. I was completely in shock I got off that one. I was speeding, no N which is a letter you have to display on your car saying your a "New driver", I had no front license plate on.

First and only ticket was for not having my insurance card on me.

I was working on my car, and thought I had it where I wanted it. I took my plate off because I thought I would have to take off the bumper, but never did. I forgot to put it back on.

Anyway, driving through my small town and I see a cop and think nothing of it. I'm not speeding or driving like a tard barn. He comes after me and pulls me over.

Him- You know why I pulled you over?
Me- No sir
Him- Your front plate isn't on. Do you have it or is it stolen?
Me- Oh! It's in my garage. I was doing some work to my car, and I'm taking it on a test drive now.
Him- Oh ok. License/registration/insurance
Me- (OH ****) Sir I don't have my wallet on me.

I give him all the info he needs verbally and he comes back.

Him- Well it looks like you check out in the system, you're all up to date.
Me- Great!
Him- But I'm giving you this citation anyway.
Me- uhhhh.


he then proceeded to tell me the things I could do to not go to court and how to make it all go away.


dick head.

In my first RX7 87 GXL 2 exhibition of speed tickets 1 speeding ticket and 1 no front plate denied license ticket.

I was racing a 250hp Type R (lost)

Then supposedly racing a civic. It was a wide road and it looked like we were side by side. Told the cop i wouldnt waste my time trying to race a stock civic that i know i could beat. He didnt believe me and gave me the ticket

I was cited for 46 in a 40. I reached a top speed of 100mph but the officer could not see me only heard my car.

Had my front plate in my window and was told it had to be mounted on the front. I didnt know I had to have my license re-instated so my license was not valid. He let me drive home.

My 88 SE

I have been pulled over numerous times for my exhaust( pace setter header straight pipe no mufflers)

Got a fix-it-ticket one time for it. Went on a long mountain cruise with my friends and when we go back in the city two cops blocked us in a parking lot (6 cars) every one with a after market mufflers got a ticket. My borlas looked stock and the cop signed off my fix-it-ticket ha ha. The cops liked my car and gave me lots of praise while writing tickets

Ive gotten two tickets through out the 4 RX7's ive owned.

The first ticket was back in 2007 100 miles north of Las Vegas at 10:30pm headed south. I was clocked doing 110 in a 65 in my 90 FC vert. I took it to court and got it down to a $415 broken tail light ticket with no points!

The second was in 2007 for doing 74 in a 50 in the 10th AE. My clutch was even slipping at the time and i was trying to pass a drunk driver late at night in rural nevada, the cop was headed towards me and speeding. He was a douche but knew about RX7's and we talked about em on the side of the road for a bit. I ended up getting it down to 55 in a 50 and points.
