dont judge my whole generation based on the ones like this...
I have paid for my insurance since I was 16, bought every car except my first (82 Buick Regal), and I have a clean driving record at 26.

Don't take offense bsmith. You sound like a good, mature, responsible owner. This guy needs a wake up call before he hurts someone, or worse.

I think it would be amusing less the fact that going 85+ is endangering everyone else, including yourself. Now if you wanna frame your ticket at the track, or drag strip, thats another story, and somthing to be much more proud of.Ry-n

i was not intentionally speeding when i got those tickets, and of course those speeds were determined by the cop....either way i was going about 80 on the highways which is reasonable when in sixth gear.....also the 35 ticked i was going 40 so he says

Just wondering if you got the year wrong on your car...
Year & Model:
2002 c5 hard top
Color:
electron blue
Mods:
corsa indy, ported throttle body, blackwing w carbon duct, fuctional zo6 side scoops, hurst shifter
Wouldt a 2k2 hardtop already have z06 scoops, being that its a z06 and all?

In 2002 the only hardtop available was a Z06.
You have a coupe... not a hardtop.

I have gotten a few tickets in my lifetime and the cop has been right on everytime, I don't try to make excuses when I get a speeding ticket, if I was doing the speed then I pay the ticket.
BTW
with the above post also, this guy probably doesn't own a Vette if he doesn't know the difference between a coupe and a Z06
