Yep. You're the "reckless hooligan" in the sports car. Happens all the time. It also gives them a chance to check and ensure the vehicle wasn't stolen (higher probability than the other cars around you).
I had an officer follow me into a convenient store parking lot, once...didn't speed, or do anything wrong. I got out and went into the store...he pulled in and boxed in my car to run the plate. Very interesting to watch as he rolled away...
In another case, a cop tailed me for over 3 miles around town...I think it took him that long to run the plate # while we were driving. Never pulled me over...but clearly was following me.
On the highway, everyone was going 62-65 mph in a 55...I was doing 62, and I know I was because I set cruise control. People WERE passing me...but I got pulled over.
Sucks, but it's part of the "experience", I guess. I often wonder, what would I do if I were them...
