So the other day I was driving the stock 2002 Civic DX that I just bought down to the beach. I had the wife and kids in the car and about 400lbs. in the trunk. As I'm traveling uphill to the I5/101 interchange this WSP car races up behind me and pulls me over... I was speeding but only about 8mph over the limit to pass a wagon in front of me. When the officer comes to my window he says, "I pulled you over because your were 1 and a half feet from the rear bumper of that Legacy and I clocked your speed at 119mph." I looked at him and said, "No I wasn't and if I was going 119mph 18in from that wagon how did I not smash into him?" He handed me a Neg 2 ticket with a $550 price tag and left... When did it become ok for cops to lie? I don't break the law, I even have LEM plates on my SUV!!!
I'm not even sure that little Civic can even go that fast...

I am taking it to court. I already have my court date in December. I found this attorney that charges a flat rate of $250 and if he looses the case he pays the differance.
Thats insane. I wish you could have the officer sit in the drivers seat and tell him to go 119 mph in your civic. After trying he would then realize it is governed to 117 mph. Pigs are epic fail. Good luck fighting this and keep us updated.
That's just ridiculous. Cops are out of control nowadays. I hope you can settle the case with the lawyer and win! Good luck!

this is the question asked by some random person "What is the factory top speed of a 2003 Honda Civic DX 1.7L 5-Speed?"
The answer was "To answer your question, the 1.7L non v-tech, 115hp, motor is governed at 110 mph. You can top out in 4th gear, if you remove the governer, you've got the range of all of 5th gear which should get you to at least 130-140mph. That is a guess since I have not removed my governer either."
so i think for you to win this case in court you should find out the top speed of a 1.7l non v tech engine. Ask honda dealer and ask for professional advice and theoretical circumstances taht the car can make upto 120mph. Im thinking it is difficult to make it even on a perfectly paved road especially with more than 3 occupants in the car its virtually impossible. if you had another 500 pounds in the trunk, be ready to describe what was in there and how much it actually weighs. all this stuff is hardcore evidence along with your wife and kids tesifying against the cop. damn cops will do anything to mess up innocent peoples lives just so that they can meet their quota
See what really irratates me is that I have raced for many years and know a thing or two about cars. 119mph in a stock small car is actually very fast especially in traffic. The odd thing is that my SUV is a whole hell of a lot faster than this Civic and it never gets pulled over but driving the Civic seems to draw alot of attention. Must be that high performance non-Vtec super engine... LOL

haha that pig is getting owned in court. a fully loaded civic can barely maintain the speed limit, esp going up a hill. even in an empty civic to get to 100 it takes a flat road and several minutes of driving. seriously, when i was driving cross country through the mountains with the car packed up boxes everywhere and just me driving, i had to drive 35mph on the freeway in the slow truck lane because the car just could not accelerate at all no joke.

i wish your court case comes up on judge judy or something so i can see that cop get owned. hahah i want to see his face expression when you provide all the evidence and scientific analysis and data about the civic and own his ass left and right.... lol i can see him already " but but but..." lol!
I just received a SECOND ticket for my Magnaflow 'illegal' muffler last Friday. Funny thing was, her (yes, woman cop with something to prove) fired up her V6 Impala and it was louder than my car. Also, I had to peel my tint off this morning and go for an inspection. So basically, my cat-back system has cost me over a grand already.
