well, where to start
i hang out in longview occasionally and i can tell you that the red Z does not have near 700hp, im pretty sure i could put about 7 or 8 cars on him with ease
komik, i have seen your car in longview a few weeks ago and i will say it is a nice car
as for the pewter firehawk, yeah its pretty fast but by far not the fastest thing i have seen sitting at ivan. i know a few of the longview crew and there is another t/a in longview that should run some LOW 11s pretty easily on the bottle and i have seen a teal green mustang coupe and a white mustang coupe that i heard are pretty damn fast and also an 03 cobra that ran 11s i think. also not to mention the old school crew like mark b and some others that had some 9-10 sec street rides, im not sure if they have been at ivan but i know they used to hang out back in the day at discount.
its been a few months since i have been out but there are a ton of f-bods hangin out it seems like, i just know about the pewter firehawk and a couple of t/a's and that "stock" red Z that pretty much cant be beat
the wingstop cars are all 13 sec cars from what i have seen, the chevelle may be faster now (im guessing yall are talkin bout the black and primer one) but the cobra didnt fair to well against my buddy one night
i will have to come back out and see whats happenin

I'm sorry, i havn't seen anything that will even look twice at the firehawk. you say that they are out there. Why dont you go ahead and bring them out.
EVERY F-BODY SHOULD HAVE SIDE PIPES!!!
Who's bottle fed TA are you talking about? Mine "should" run 11's stock internal, but it hasn't yet, just spins through every gear. Like I said earlier, after cam and tires I'll be pissed if it doesn't run 10's on the bottle.
Damn, how did I miss this thread?!?!?! I grew up near Longview (Ore City) and cruised on that damn loop a lot back in tha day. I used to have a '95 Silver Trans Am A4 with a Comp TA stripe, anyone remember it? Since then I have upgraded to an '01 SS M6. I need to drive it when I come home sometime, I just don't like putting that many miles on it. But next time I come back home, I'll post up, I wanna meet some of you guys.

i called a buddy of mine and he said the teal mustang i was talking about ran 10s and the white one has been in the low low 11s. both of those are faster than the firehawk, also look for a dark green fox body mustang soon, its a 347 w/ an 83mm turbo, i would like to see that firehawk even think about hangin with it
the t/a i was referring to is pewter, i heard what mods it had and it should run low 11s easily
TRMIN8R, were you hangin out at chik-fil-a a long time ago in it? if so you raced a black cobra i think

Na, I haven't driven it back home yet. I really want to since I'm 5500 feet above sea level here in Albuquerque and I would love to see how it runs at sea level.
Damn the **** is getting deep in here. The white coupe used to be faster, but won't be again until he gets the powerglide out of it. Yes there are cars faster than the hawk, usually one in the parking lot that will give it a run for the money. The hawk is by no means slow but it's not the fastest in town, Terrance will agree (the owner).

Maybe I did an M6 swap with a single turbo this time.
Again, I ask...who are you, Wikkid?
TRMIN8R, how long ago did you have your Comp T/A in Longview? I might have met you.

Oh man, it was back in 2000 and 2001. I remember meeting some folks with fbodies and they had an fbody club. We used to meet in the parking lot of hastings on the loop. I also remember a guy named Cody with a red '97 SS.

We may do that. The crowd sucks down here majority of the time but there have been quite a few f-bodys, vettes and cobra's popping up lately though. All of them stock but that will be solved one car at a time. 
Its mostly just the mustang gt crowd thats trying to take over the ricers but to me its just like a civil war.
