[sarcasm]Firehawk owners... You are all just uneducated redneck Firebird owners. There is no money to be had from you minimum-wagers. Get over it.[/sarcasm]

Dave and Ed ,

Please hear the cries of the very enthusiasts that pay your bills, keep the lights on over at SLP. I see now why you didnt show up to the annual Firehawk owners of America dinner in Norwalk,OH this year. Imagine if you had announced this at the meeting. Why not just call it something else ? I love the idea of a re-paneled Camaro .. imagine every owner who has vowed "bring back the Trans Am we buy it." instead of Pontiac recieving the sales SLP would .... im sure that would fatten your pocket - that is what your trying to do isn't it !

According to the Wall Street Journal, the G8 is selling like typewriters, so I doubt the car is around for very long anyway, regardless of what stickers and crap somebody slaps on the car.

As the current owner of a Hawk, most people have no idea what a Firehawk is anyway, so I don't think the bastardization of the name is going to hurt anything. Hell, Ford slapped aluminum rims and mustang seats in Escorts in the 80s and called them Escort GTs. Didn't seem to hurt the image of Mustang GTs. To this day, Chevy has front wheel drive cars with SS nomenclature.

Calling a G8 a Firehawk, would be like calling a White Castle Slider a Big Mac.
You'd think a Hamburger would know the difference!

Way to go on the Cheese-Burger you created. Too bad nobody is going to eat it up, except those that want it served with a side of "Rice"

I don't mind people expressing their opinion in an adult manner . . . distasteful and inappropriate posts will be deleted.

There is expressing your voice, but there is also being and *** . . . (not directed to the person quoted)

Nothing to do with being PC . . . it is about be a mature, which I can see is out of your ability.

One can express their opinion without throwing insults, or make downright derogatory statements.

Because its a trademark? You didn't put Firehawk on any GTO's
Why on a G8? It just doesn't make any sense. Give it another name.
I have a lightning and made by svt. The svt mustang is called a Cobra, and the svt focus is called a POS, but not Lightning.
Why can't it just be an SLP edition G8?
You haven't used the Firehawk name on anything other than a firebird.
You called the GTP the GTX, am I right?

Guys, we ask that you voice your concerns in a mature and respectful manner. You can get the same message across without looking like an ******* here. If you keep pushing the issue, your account may stop working all of a sudden. GROW UP.
