[boatmangc]

It figures they'd get it right just as the death rattles start....

[Ladyhawke]

They are nice. But to me, an original Firehawk owner, it isn't the same. SLP wouldn't be using the G8 if GM was still making the Tran Am/Firebird. I would have prefered SLP use a different name.

[DOOM]

I would take that over a hemi any day of the week. :up:

I agree....NOONE is going to see that butt whoopin coming.....

I agree this is a very sweet car and I've always been a part pontiac man. But firehawk on something other than a trans am/firebird. ummmm no

[TAKEDOWN]

How about a chromed out Hemi?

[Black_Noise]

im growing more and more to hate th G8... AND IM DISAPPOINTED that SLP used the firehawk name on that

[Mac-MerC]

id trade the Marauder

[DOOM]

How about a chromed out Hemi?

FAIL :down:

+1
I never even heard of this until right now. That name belongs on a F-body.

[RoyLPita]

I would hate the change the firewall belt on the Magnusson Supercharger.

[DOOM]

Ill be in that area today. I may go check it out in person.

Chris, I thought of you as soon as I read the link.
I would've guessed that you be trading in your older Firehawk for this bad boy!

But...I understand the "cross-breed" thing.
It would be kinda like a new Shelby Crown Vic...:eek:

Nearly $50,000 for a car you CAN'T even test drive before buying. You got to be kidding. 500 HP at 4,000# and the car can only do 12.6 in the 1/4 mile - NO thanks.

Glenn :burnout:

[O's Fan Rich]

This is the GM I'd get... hands down, no doubt.... if Obama would let me.

With the setup you have now you could blow the doors off that thing. :burnout:

Yeah but GM has that if you don't like it you can return within 60 days, right?:)

[Krytin]

That would be 60 VERY hard days before it got returned.....

in several boxes!:lol:

[DOOM]

Hey chris (blown 3.8) let's take the marauder up there and tell them if their car can beat shermans in a race we'll pay cash for it. :D

[ctrlraven]

Found a video of it from the show MotorWeek.

:hmmm:

12.1 @ 124 on street tires....and 75-80, where they tested it is a slower track.

[ctrlraven]

With a 2.93 rear gear!

I'd still rather buy a G8 GT then add a twin turbo kit plus some other goodies and still be way under the SLP Firehawk pkg price.

[Glenn]

Hard to believe this car ran 12.1 on street tires. It had to have the world's best driver to pull that off. Not realistic!

Glenn

[Glenn]

H*ll you cannot even test drive the car. The fine print - "Does not apply to performance cars". This car dealer is desperate to sell this car before it is stuck with it now that Pontiac is over.

I like the Pontiac G8 GT Firehawk styling and all. However, at $56,295 as tested, I could round up 4 pretty decent Marauders and still have enough money left over for a year's worth of gas money.

The guy on the video said that "....there is virtually no body roll". But on the video, the car seems to roll like a pig with alot of front end crabbing in the turns. At least that is what it looked like to me.

[4rgone]

Never liked the G8's always thought they looked like a mix between a BMW and a Lancer, but that thing is way cool. If I had the cash I would be bidding on it.

[W4LTD]

Perfect for the Florida sun, it looks like the hood comes pre-faded...

Funny thing is, twenty years ago, it would have been one of the most laughed at posts.


A FOUR DOOR FIREHAWK.

Nope Joe, I'll keep my F-Body Firehawk. They don't make them like that no more.

What year Firehawk? I used to have a 1997 Camaro SS with all SS options, even the level II suspension.
