ok. you would've been OK if you hadn't mouthed off about seeing him in court. you see cops pull over tons of people all the time and chances are they aren't going to remember you, especially if you just act the normal routine. 'sorry officer, i didn't see you, etc...' he would then probably ticket you and forget you, or maybe even let you off if he knew he was in the wrong. but since you mentioned 'ill see you in court' to him, you can be sure hes going to be well prepared when you finally see him again. when it comes down to his word vs your word, the judge will almost always side with the officer, no matter what you do.
court is just another game and cops are quite good at playing it; he could've easily changed the numbers on the ticket or what not after the fact. if u do decide to challenge him in court theres a very good chance you are going to lose. if you hadn't said the typical 'ill see you in court,' then you would've had a much better chance of winning. as soon as a cop hears that you can be sure he's taking notes and such of driving conditions, speeds, etc... and dating them so that he can show the judge... 'look, i took notes...' REGARDLESS of what actually happened. on top of this, if u have a car like the majority of the people on this board, that is going to reflect badly on you.
for future reference if u do plan on challenging a ticket, don't make any indication to the officer that you are going to do so. good luck man!
