Florida just bolted a brand-new pony onto its police roster. The Highway Patrol’s fresh Mustang GT isn’t factory-issue—troopers built it themselves—and it’s already stealing more eyeballs than license plates.

 

 

 

Key Points

• Ponies for Patrol: Stock 5.0-liter V8 dishes 480 hp and 415 lb-ft—plenty to reel in all but the wiliest Floridian lead?foot.

• Fleet Flex: The GT joins an eye-popping lineup that already fields a Dodge Challenger and a Chevrolet Corvette.

• Beauty Contest: FHP entered the Mustang to pad votes in the annual “America’s Best-Looking Cruiser” showdown, where Florida just notched a three-peat win.

Voting’s wrapped, but results drop any day; whether this steed nabs trophies or tickets, its mere silhouette should make speed demons think twice.
