The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) has added a 2023 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray, manufactured in the USA, to its fleet. The vehicle, which has an MSRP of $65,895 and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and reach speeds up to 194 mph, was seized by FHP and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) rather than purchased with state funds. It will be used to enhance road safety and participate in educational outreach events. Governor Ron DeSantis is scheduled to hold a news conference at an FHP station in Lee County, joined by Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Executive Director Dave Kerner. The event is set to begin at 10 a.m. at the FHP station located at 10041 Daniels Parkway in south Fort Myers.
