Prove it.

I, for one, have never met the guy ever before, as he said.


I have two F-bodys at the moment, and I'll compare paychecks with you any day of the week.

I prefer the term 'manufactured home community', and yeah my Firehawk (real Firehawk) is parked here. Speaking of which, we're coming to the day when we'll have to say real Firehawk. What's next, a Firebird Wagon? Actually, that'd look kinda funny.... Anybody handy with photoshop? I've seen a T/A limousine but I haven't the imaginative capability to conjure a T/A wagon.... And it can be a Firehawk!!!

are you guys seriously argueing about this ****...


my intake and heads cost more than a lot of the cars on the road.. does it make it nicer? to some people no.. and to others yes..

other people think the opisite..

you cant argue something like this...

Actually, that's the first I've ever heard anybody say that. Everybody that has actually compared the two, the GTO comes out on top.

The only complaints everybody has is lack of gauges and slow moving seats to get in the back.

But this thread is pretty funny...

Wow beating a dead horse this has been done to hell and back, slp really could care less what we think hence this disgrace...

I have a 2000 T/A Firehawk, and I love Pontiac and SLP. But I think this is just horrifyingly disgusting.

The G8 is a nice car... But IT'S A 4-DOOR. It is by no means a sports car. This is pathetic. Call it the "G8 Goo-Goo Pop". Call it ANYTHING but a Firehawk. How would Viper owners feel if Hennessey did a version of the new Challenger and called it a "Venom?" I'm taking SLP down a notch.

NonGoggleGuy

I find it HIGHLY irrelevant when people compare new technology to old technology. OF COURSE the G8 Pukehawk will be faster than the F-body Firehawks and SSs... IT'S NEW TECHNOLOGY. That's like saying, "my 2008 Honda Accord V6 is WAY faster than my 1976 T/A." Of course it is. IT'S NEWER and technology has done its job!! How was your V6 Accord in 1976? Oh, that's right - THERE WERE NONE.

It's evidently obvious that any REAL Firehawk owner would find this disgraceful, especially when the price tag for this G8 is around $60K. Why not just be unimaginable and buy a *choke* Corvette? SLP has simply done just that: become unimaginable in an effort to attract buyers into a new age of "muscle cars." I hate to say it, but as big V8s are decreasing from the general consumer's market, as well as Pontiac's apparent ending career, SLP and Pontiac have become desperate to sell them.

I HOPE that just slapping a legendary (already used) badge on any car does not attract buyers to this vehicle. Anyone with a devotion to a great name (I hope) would agree.

Don't buy this SLP Australian garbage-pile.

REAL Firehawks, if you want to call them that, stopped in '92. Anything after was just putting decals on the Formula. Unless you call an exhaust, wheels, and a hood worthy.

All depends on what you think a Firehawk really is. The G8 Firehawk is a muscle car, not a sports car. Far from a garbage pile.

The new Firehawk costs what the REAL Firehawks cost back in the '90's because you are actually getting a modified car. Is it worth it? I didn't think it was worth $50K back in the '90's. Who knows.

Doesn't matter boys & girls. Who in their right ******* mind is going to spend $60,000 on this car?? Pontiac can't even sell a newspaper let alone cars.

What do 2002 Firehawks run? 13.0's - 13.3's?

What's this thing supposed to run? Didn't the add say 12.6's? But yet it has 155 more ponies? Boy, what a bonus!

Damn heavy 4 door overpriced car........period.

i have heard plenty of people say they like trans ams more.. online and in person..

GTOs arent bad for a more family oriented or trip car... but when it comes down to it i would pick a TA over a GTO any day of the week..
i dont think they look good at all.. just the over stance, and oval look of the car disgusts me.. as for the interior.. i absolutely hate that type of interior on a "muscle car".. they arent supposed to be flashy with led lights and all these guages and **** on them..
also, they are pigs.. as we all know..

im not bashing anyones choice in a car... thats just my view on them..

Rob

Just what does a muscle car interior look like?

What part of a GTO is flashy? How many gauges are you supposed to have because the GTO doesn't have any.

As for pigs, they are heavy. But will hold their own on the drag strip and road course. Mine did just fine at Memphis running down all the F-Body's for F-Body Event. Suspension and brakes were still stock but I did have a cam and headers.

I've had my share of F-Body's, 84 Z28, 89 TTA, and 96 WS6. The goat will never be as fast as my TTA but already has gone faster than the WS6 and a lot faster than the Z28.

GTO can be a family car but its definitely a muscle car in every sense of the word. F-Bods are pony cars, always haven been and always will.

there was a hardtop that replaced the back window and made it look like a wagon,it was the hurst hauler .but i didnt read that post earlier

Wasn't this thread about the G8 Pukehawk?

You guys got way off track. Here's my bitch:

If you look closely at the word "Firehawk," you will notice the words "fire" and "hawk." Now, if you look closely at the word "Firebird," you will notice the words "fire" and "bird." If you have a brain, you will realize the similarity between the two words, and may even make the connection that they belong together.

Let's take a look at the word "G8" now. You will notice that the words "G" and "8" appear. So obviously (sarcasm), "Firehawk" has everything to do with the words "G" and "8."

As far as you guys arguing over GTOs, T/As, and G8s, none of them are junk. They are all fast and beautiful machines, but PLEASE DON'T COMPARE THE PERFORMANCE OF TWO CARS THAT ARE FROM DIFFERENT GENERATIONS. IT IS COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT!! You can compare looks, quality, and feel all you want, but when it comes to advances in technology, technology will always win. How come no one ever compares the cargo volume between a pickup truck and a Fiero? Because it's irrevelant.

All these Pontiac muscle cars are great in their own way. But it's all about prersonal preference. If you ask me, I'll say that nothing looks, feels, sounds, and drives like a 4th-generation F-body. And nothing goes with the "Firehawk" name like a Firebird (and it only makes sense).
