What, does buying a more expensive car give you access to a different set of traffic laws? My 106HP Yaris is more than capable of breaking the speed limit and coming off a stop fast enough to slam me back in the seat.

Theoretically, no. In practice there's definitely a different level of scrutiny applied to beat up old cars (fishing magnet), a brightly colored sportscar (revenue ticketing magnet) or a bland sedan or crossover (mostly gets ignored unless you're doing something crazy).
