First of all, points do not last forever, so your long term career will be okay.

IMO get a lawyer, one who specialises in traffic court.
I suspect he can plead the charge down to speeding for a lesser amount than 27 over in exchange for a guilty plea, and no trial.
You will likely pay a fine, and hopefully you can swap some traffic school time in exchange for keeping the points off your licence.
I think jail time or community service is way too excessive for a 17 year old doing a bit of speeding.
