how do I get a ticket for going 50+ in a 35 when the car can't do more than 37 in first gear? I pulled onto a 2 lane road today and hit VTEC in first gear. Right as I come around the corner and shift to second there is a statie on detail yelling at me to pull over. So I pull over, shut off the car and wait for him. He makes some comment like " what the hurry this morning Mario Andretti" which I don't appreciate. And I tell him that I just pulled onto the road and had to build up speed as an SUV in the other lane wanted to change to my lane as he was approaching the detail. He takes my license and reg and walks away. Comes back and tells me I gave him the wrong answer and I should have said that I didn't realize I was speeding and that I was sorry yada yada. This is exactly what I would have said had I been speeding. So I get a $200 ticket. Ticket reads 50+ in a 35 by way of estimation. What a crock!

 

if it's just estimated, just go fight it. I beat a similar ticket.

 

I don't think he likes the sound of VTEC in the morning.

 

HAHA

thank god u dont have an aftermarket exhaust or he realy wouldnt have liked u!

apeeal it!!

 

I was thinking the exact same thing as I was waiting for him to deliver my ticket...if I was in the Audi I would have been hosed.

 

can anyone find the top speeds by gears for an AP1? I saw it linked to some post here in the past but I am not coming up with anything right now. Thanks.

 

I checked, it's 37

 

 

I checked empiracally as well and confirmed it's 37....but I want something that is published.

 

Owners Manual?

Helms manual?

I guess when you question the officer...you have to ask him what he heard. (gear changes etc)
