Default Caught At 104

I KNOW THIS IS A SORE SUBJECT WITH ANY DRIVER, BUT JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT'S THE WORST
SPEEDING TICKET YOU'VE EVER RECIEVED? IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU GOT IT IN A S2 OR NOT.
MINE 104 IN A 55 ON 684 NORTH CT/NY.(IN A S2). NOT SMART ON MY PART!!!

I'm obviously not saying who , but I know a guy who knows a guy who was proving his S2000 would go faster than a modded and very loud un-named small import car, which was accomplished at 147 mph at 6 AM in nowhere's-ville TN. The state trooper had no idea what passed by on the other side of the road, but managed to catch up with it a ways down the road and issued tickets for "99 in a 70", and didn't get any arguments. Whew!!!

OMG 205?!? Fastest I've driven my car was 111. That was scary enough (mainly for the fact that if I got caught I'd be in trouble, not with the law, but with the wife )

My biggest ticket was going 80ish in a 55 mph (I think)...then again I did launch my car getting me to 80 pretty quick Cop didn't show up, so the ticket was dismissed (pure luck).

I had 118 in a 65 just outside of Kings City on 101N in Central California and my fine was $480 + lawyers + cleaning up the god damn highway! I am moving to Bills C5 state where you can do 205 in a 55 and pay $375.
