I will post again when I get the bill for the bail amount. Probably in the range of 300-400 from looking at what other have paid. I dont think this was ticket had anything to do with import profiling, I was just going in the commuter lane a bit too fast and got popped.
I dont think a radar or laser jammer would have done anything in this case, he wasnt using a radar gun, he just came off the on ramp and speed up to catch me in the far left lane going 90+.
Thanks for all the support.

The one feature built into the HKS Type-1 Turbo Timer that I thought I would never use was the speed warning. I've set mine to 70 mph and that annoying little beep has saved me from three tickets so far (/me crosses fingers).
Food for thought

You can retro fit a cruise control from JC Whitney or from Lansers (if they have it) for a stock look.
I got a ticket from Texas HP three months ago and I want to go and fight it but guess what? The Judge is out on extended leave and they don't know when she'll be back

You won't get a point but you will have to pay for the ticket and traffic school.

Coming home today from san diego to santa cruz and I was yanked over around newport beach going 95. Damn this evo loves to go faster than is acceptable and I should have been much more careful, and i never toped 80 the rest of the way home. So this sucks, but live and learn and not more 90 on the 405. Flame on.
I lived there from 1975 until 1993 (graduated from Soquel High in 1987). By the way, sorry about the ticket. I just drove the 405 last week coming back from Escondido. It's easy to speed on that highway.

V1 is coming soon, no more speeding on open highways until then. I graduated from soquel high in 2000, good to hear some other evo owners are from my area.

I got stopped on Christmas day. 51mph in a 40 speed limit, couldn't find my insurance card and my inspection sticker was two months expired. Got off. He asked why I was speeding and I told him I could give you a reason but I'm sure you heard thousands of reasons. I found my insurance card in my wallet, went and got my car inspected and slowed down.
