Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79

A Florida man was arrested after police clocked him driving his C8-generation Corvette Stingray convertible at 107 mph—well below the car’s top speed, but well above the legal threshold for Florida’s newly enacted “super speeder” law. The law, part of HB 351, went into effect July 1, 2025, and marks a major shift in how the state handles extreme speeding. Instead of civil infractions, drivers who hit 100 mph or exceed the speed limit by 50 mph now face criminal charges, mandatory court appearances, and steep penalties.

The speeder told the officer that he was late for a barber appointment.

For first-time offenders, the law mandates a minimum $500 fine and up to 30 days in jail. Repeat violations within five years can lead to a $1,000 fine, up to 90 days behind bars, and even license suspension. The Corvette driver’s arrest is one of the first high-profile cases under this new statute—and it’s a cautionary tale for anyone tempted to test their car’s limits on public roads.


Want to see how it all unfolded? Watch the video for footage and commentary on the incident. It’s a vivid reminder that while performance cars are built for speed, the law is built to keep that speed in check.
