Default here are some new Firehawks

I was at SLP today and caught a glimpse at some in different colors so i snapped a few pics.. a guy there said one was going to Florida, another somewhere else, etc.

I have to admit seeing a few inthe same place, brand new and all and I am starting to neutralize m anger at them using the firehawk name on the G8. all in all these cars are nice.. The interior (my phone sucks no pics through the glass were worth while and they were locked) is nice as well, lots of subtle things make this car a hell of alot nicer than a GXP.. Then again, it's a heel of a lot more lol.. Flame suit on... remember, don't shoot the messenger!

pics suck my phone is junk, and the cars were pretty dusty/dirty awaiting transport..

The car is great, it's the name that sucks.

Those wheels look identical to C63 wheels:

HAH! I was just about to post the SAME thing! I can't believe they put the "Firehawk" name on a G8 though.

I think it's a bit pricey. And I also don't like the flat black paint.

looks like complete garbage. Paint stripe, lowered, intake and exhaust for how much? If it more than $5000 markup it's a waste. I expect more from a reputable company like this. Especially since it called a firehawk.

You are laughing at a 4 door with a LS3 or L74 (not sure on exact designation, still new to me)?

I am not posting this to start a fight but are you serious or was that sarcasm??

I mean the Firehawk is supercharged! The previous generation never came close to what the new ones are. Hard to throw it away because it has two extra doors.
