I have been in more municipal courts for 'speeding' tickets than anyone I know. First:
NEVER PAY YOUR TICKETS WITHOUT FIGHTING.
Second:
Get A Valentine One or Escort X50
Thrid:
Did the cop bust you with the radar gun, laser gun? Did he state that it was verified on the gun or was it just from his visual? I don't think the laws in California allow a driver to be busted for speeding without the gun reading.
Fourth:
Go back to the scene of the crime and see how far from where you were pulled over was there a sign that posted the speed limit. I once got a ticket and I went back and drove about a mile in each direction without seeing a single sign that said 25mph. this was an industrial area with four lanes of traffic. I was dointg about 40 mph. I told the judge that I got pulled over on this street and the neares speed limit signs in this non-residential area were this far away on this street to the north and that street to south.

When you go to the court before your appointment, try and find out who the prosecutor is and ask him if you could speak to him about your ticket. Ask him if it would be possible to enter a plead for not wearing your seat belt or other non-points violations. I have done this before and instead of getting fined for doing 20 mph over the limit they changed the vioation to "obstructing the flow of traffic" (double parking). THe court just wants money.

Whatever happens don't plead guilty to the ticket if it will result in points. If you are young your insurance company in most states will kill you with higher premiums. When I was 19 I had no points and I wanted a CRX Si and the insurance was almost $5K a year! Needless to say I bught a stupid accord hatchback instead and the insurance was under my father's name.

By the sound of it your cop is a weirdo. Every cop knows the only Boxster to buy is the S :P
