According to police, shortly after being stopped the 23-year-old told officers: "No excuse I can give you will be enough".
After being issued with a radar infringement notice, the man then allegedly said "wow, that's cheap".
Infringement notices for exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h in NSW come with a fine of up to $2,547.
The South Australian man's privileges to drive in NSW were also suspended for a period of six months at the time of the offence.
His registration plates were not confiscated due to belonging to another state.
