You were driving way too fast and putting other peoples lives in danger. How would you like it if your wife and kids would have been traveling that stretch of highway and two assholes go ripping past them at 100 plus mph? I think you got off easy, should have been reckless operation and you should have been arrested and had your car towed.
I am not trying to sound like a dick and i have done the exact same thing many times, but thats when i was young and stupid. I am now older and wiser and i realize the bad things that can happen in situations like that. Just be a man and pay the ticket and grow up while you're at it and think about other peoples lives. You could have killed a small child or someones family. Take your car to the drag strip and run the shit out of it there, not on public roads.
