Hey man where are you in Kansas? I am going to school in Manhattan but my hometown is Hays. I own a 1999 Navy Blue Metallic Trans Am Firehawk with GMMG exhaust. If you are in the area, feel free to contact me...don't mind seeing another hawk.

I live in Olathe. But i def will let you know if im around that area or if theres any cruise/meets around my area where we can get together. So do you go to KSU? and if you do do you happen to know someone named megan hardwick?
BTW are you in any other local forums like mofbody.com (lots of gatherings/cruises)

Yeah I go to KSU...sophomore. I don't know who you are talking about...I looked her up on facebook and don't recognize her. I am on ksumotorsports and ksfba....and then i am on firehawk.org which i think you should join since you are getting a hawk, and then ls1, ls2, and some corvette forums. I don't know of any cruises around here...most of them will be in topeka and stuff. Hope you enjoy your hawk. This thread is worthless without pics when you get it!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with big tires.

That car is badass man. The price is a steal for that Firehawk with such low miles, performance mods and Fikse FM10's.

There's plenty wrong with big tires, specifically, it looks stupid. just get some smaller nittos to preserve traction, improve looks, improve drivability, reduce road noise, etc. Save those hogs for the track. thats just my opinion....those tires just throw that great looking rear fascia completely out of proportion.

Actually i would get something different but i really dont have much of a choice on tires considering the wheels are 17x11 and most memebers here run 315's on a wheel thats 11 inches wide. So even if i do get nittos it still would look the same.
