Most people just ignore my Cayman. This actually surprised me quite a lot, because Porsches are unusual where I live. In general, most people these days just seem to treat cars as appliances. I haven't noticed anything different about cops, either, but that is likely because I rarely go any faster than surrounding traffic. I may actually be driving slower in the Cayman because of a fear of being a cop target, but regardless, they have ignored me. The one time I got stopped was the one time I violated my usual driving habits ... I was doing 65 in a 35 zone, and with that, I don't think it would have made any difference if I was in a Camry.
