The Firehawk nameplate should not be used with the G8 IMO.

It was announced at the big "Indy Bash" earlier today.


I don't like the idea either, ...


As mentioned in the other thread, ..., It was announced at the big "Indy Bash" earlier today by SLP.

(Can we lock this one & stay with one thread in the G8 forum?!? Mod's?!? )

Im gonna have to call bullshit on this one. That photo is almost definitely shopped, looks like an older firehawk ad... and they did call the lt1 firehawk the "slp firehawk" in the ads. I havent found anything on the internet either... so hopefully this is bullshit. I knew gm has their heads up there asses but I dont think there that blind.

Yes, it is true. It is among a long list of things that SLP announced including supecharger kits and a full range of go fast goodies for a variety of GM late models.
