He bought the car from the dealer that bought it off me.Stropes Speed screwed the whole up car after he took it to them..I know he was running it for a while and then it BOOOMED after they tuned it.

I think he sold it to someone with a stock engine in it after that mishap and someone bought the 383,It was in the April 98 Issue of HTP before I sold it.Abe Bergian took the pics and did the article on it..

I loved that car,it was sooooo streetable...
I miss it,Boohoo

I think thats the one. I remember it being at a dealer cause I saw it in the autotrader. The guy that bought was a friend of a friend said that after he bought it the guy who built(being you) wanted to buy it back. I'll tell you what that car was a bad *** car. He use to bring it to my friends house all the time. I think it had like a 3 stage nitrous on it right? He use to race in Philly alot and whooped some *** with out useing the juice.

2 stage,all controlled by the DFI...
The car never caused me one problem,it was a true 10 SEC Street Car,AC,Pw everything and ran on 17in wheels w/Dr's too.Yep me and girlie broke up 2 months after I traded it and I was too late to buy it back because he put a deposit on it.

I couldve bought it back for 1000 more but it was to too late.I had talked to them about week after trading it and they said let us make a grand and u can have it back so I thought about it and by the time I went back he had already made the deal.

I miss my Hawk....
I'll get a GTO in another 6 or 7 months and that'll hold me over for a few yrs.
Then I'll have 2 Pontiacs,a DD and a 10SEC Beast
