Is it normal for corvette to get off for speeding?

Ok here goes. We have a car club of mostly import cars, European cars, and a few muscle cars. My core group of friends all drive mostly Rsx's, Suby's, Integra's, 350z's-- that sort of thing. My buddy drives a modified yellow Corvette. Now, we have al gotten pulled over before for 'impeding traffic' by having 10 of us cruising in a group. I get that cops don't like imports, that's okay. But they always fawn all over the Corvette and let him go, just because it is a Vette. They even tell us that! Once, we were all on a roadtrip to St. Louis, MO and the friend with the Vette ended up wanting to hit the stretch and was doing over 100mph in a 60 zone. We stayed back. Then all of a sudden we see a cop do a u turn over the grass center section and go after him. He was clocked at 115mph. The cop stopped and talked to him THEN LET HIM GO! No ticket or anything. He never gets a ticket. If I did the same thing, I'd been arrested by now.

So tell me, is this normal?

    it used to be that old muscle cars were pulled over all the time.

    also, really nice cars tend to get passed over, while someone driving somthing older tends to get pulled over more. Stupid, isnt it?

    Hahahaha well thats because he is driving a real car and ur driving a piece of crap.. Jokes.. (v8 fan)

    Have u heard the expression "only milk and juice come in 2 litters"

    But seriously,.. Cops associate imports with immaturity and hence young ppl that start trouble.. And so does society. A big old school classic is only usually appreciated by the mature aged (which most cops are) ... So can u see the connection?

    When I visit USA I make sure to rent a Corvette and go 150mph anywhere. Thanks for the tip.

    The problem isn't about being above the law, it's about whether or not the Corvette gets preferential treatment; which seems like the case.

    So you're complaining that you're not above the law? You're complaining that your buddy gets off the hook when really the problem is that you shouldn't be impeding traffic.

    We don't have a problem with imports....that's as ridiculous as your story.
