Firehawk is an "SLP car"

comes with SLP Catback, 17" standard Firehawk wheels, SLP Air Lid, Floormats, short throw, etc.

Its just a more desirable/rare car.

Performance wise all V8 Fbodies are about the same(Driver Mod)

Yeah, similar performance, but it was rated at 345hp, a stock t/a being 305hp. Pricey, but they look great.

I know, but I thought I'd just ask real quick without starting a whole new thread!

SLP's first Hawks were based on the 3rd Gen body style in 91 and 92. They used a sooped up L98 with a Vette gearbox. Horse power was 350+, zero to 60 in the high 4's (according to the mags) and it would dent your wallet to the tune of 50K.

For the SLP stuff they even started work on a non-pop-up light version for the Firehawk along with a hood never really made.

Last I saw the SLP Firebird non-pop-ups headlights were on sale for over 10k. Pricey since they never offered a hood to go with the light.

Try doing a search on the forum to be honest the last time I saw that thread was like a year ago.

I'll try to do the search myself but I can't promise anything it (search fuction) just doesn't like me.

The thread was titled something about ebay and "can you believe this guy."

It started as a "can you believe the ridiculous bullshit this guy is trying to sell" than it turned out it was SLP themselves offering the product without any real interest in selling just showing it around.

Yep people bog ebay down with crap like that all the time.

Yeah neato thingy but ebay is full of a ton of stores doing little stints like that. Hence the reason everytime you try and find something for sale you have a million piles of crap to shift through until you eventually give up.
