I see where you are comming from, but Firehawk works with the Firebird. This is like having a Ford SVT Cobra Edge.
I dont get these new cars(4 door) being names after early model muscle cars.
Like this firehawk and the charger
don’t give them any ideas…
Yet another pretty badass car that most people will hate because of the name. Wtf is GM thinking? The GTO would be much more appreciated if it had a different name, too.
meh, just bring back the firebird.
One of the mistakes I regret making was not buying an 02 loaded up red/Black hawk and buying an 02 Vette.I actually had plans to go to MN and pick it up and went for the Vette instead
"It seems that no amount of controversy will prevent SLP (Street Legal Performance) from launching its latest Firehawk, this time based on the Pontiac G8 GT. Prior to this model, all previous Firehawk packages were fitted to the Firebird, a fact that has a number of SLP purists rather upset. Before we get to the specifications, perhaps we should remind Firebird fans that it could be worse: At least they didn’t choose to revive the Firehawk name on a version of the new Camaro, right?
As for the car, it sounds like a pretty nice package. To the stock V8 engine, SLP adds a supercharger that’s similar to the one featured on the jaw-dropping Corvette ZR1, a stainless exhaust system and a cold air induction system. All that’s good for an impressive 500 horsepower. Other mods include new 19-inch alloys painted up in gun metal gray and a sport suspension package. The car’s most striking design element will surely be the flat black-painted hood, grille surrounds and rear spoiler – an obvious nod to the factory gaudiness of muscle cars from the late '60s and early '70s.
Aside from the Firehawk name, the biggest issue that’s likely to inhibit future SLP G8 ownership is surely the price. To the stocker’s $32,440 base price, the SLP package adds a substantial $18,995, plus an extra $4,995 for an upgraded brake kit. For that kind of money, buyers could very nearly opt for a Cadillac CTS-V and be rewarded with its amazing supercharged 6.2L V8 engine and 556 horsepower. Still want one? Check back with your favorite local Pontiac dealer on April 1st. No foolin’."
Firehawk > CTS-V ???
/controversy 
:lol:
I didn’t read it all at first, as I posted it I noticed the V comment and figured it would cause problems.
Is it just me or is 500 HP not enough? The GXP has 465 HP and it only cost 6 grand more than the base V8.
