Thanks for the comments all, I am not trying to be dishonest I would normally be happy with the 2 points because I was speeding knowingly or not. I would like to stick it to the cop who pulled me over cause I switched to the right lane to let cars pass me who were going much faster. I still don't believer I was going near that speed but what can I do, I am the smuck who has the nerve to drive a convertible Z28 with the top down

A ticket sucks but I would accept it if I felt I earned it. If ya can't tell I still am steamed over this. The prosecutor I worked with many many times to handle Real estate contracts I have known him for 10 years now great guy I had no idea he did this work. I know what he was getting at when he told me to get recipts so I followed his lead. Using Tunercat and the hypertech car tuner I picked up straightened out the speedo in a afternoon of measuring and math after I got the ticket (scouts honor) it was 9 mph off at 60mph it grows the faster the car is driven at slow speeds like 25 it was 1.5 mph off I used 2 borrowed hand held garmin and magellan GPS units and 2 different android apps on 2 phones to verify my speed is correct.

I am neurotic when it comes to cars never had a shop find out something I didn't know already or fix something better than I could have done. Guess I never found a good shop. I was hoping someone in here could point me in the direction of a lucky mechanic or shop who would have the easiest time to make a few dollars I will visit the shop around the corner come Monday if no one has another suggestion.

thanks again
