Pissed about SLP's Firehawk G8?
 
If you haven't heard about it, yet, SLP is bringing back the Firehawk bage to use on... v6, v8 and SC'd v8 G8's.

Yet another company rehashing an old name to cash in. Way to go.

WildBillyT 09-22-2008 01:18 PM

Makes 0 sense. That's like naming the new Volt the Chevelle.

And no mods holding people back... instead you got nine ball ripping them as much as anyone. I f'ing love it.

It's a poor excuse for a lack of creativity.

& The guy repeating "It's a done deal" just pisses me off more. :evil:

Fine, go ahead. See how it sells, jerks.

LTb1ow 09-22-2008 03:12 PM

Will this lower the price commanded for a real Firehawk?

Blackbirdws6 09-22-2008 03:12 PM

If they called it something different it wouldn't bother me. I do think it's even dumber to call models lower than the top-of-the-line firehawk. I got a firehawk V6 G8.......yea that doesn't work.

JL8Jeff 09-22-2008 03:17 PM

That's just stupid to ruin the name "Firehawk".

mtg6486 09-22-2008 03:31 PM

the whole theme is wrong. FIREBIRD, TRAN AM BIG f***ing bird on the hood it makes sense and goes with those cars. this is just retarted

SteveR 09-22-2008 03:37 PM

I just read through those threads. That Dave guy at SLP sounds like a real pompous arrogant ass. Eff SLP, their crap was over priced to begin with.

LTb1ow 09-22-2008 03:38 PM

SLP means guaranteed performance. HA.

Like it matters anyways
Most of the people that are passionate about these cars and bitching about it can't and couldnt afford to buy them brand new, Instead they have to wait for the 2nd or 3rd owner to sell it where it is finally at a price that they can afford..

The only thing I see wrong with it is allowing it to be badged on a V6..
A 2-door would be awesome..

BurninrubberGT 09-22-2008 04:47 PM

used to love slp, but with this move, i may stay away from them, thats the biggest crap i hav e ever heard....

SteveR 09-22-2008 05:10 PM

So I make a post replying to one of that homo over at SLPs attack against someone and his stays and mine gets deleted. I guess the people over at LS1tech are a bunch of fags too.

Tru2Chevy 09-22-2008 05:12 PM

Yea, as much as they don't agree with the idea, they have to protect their interests too, and SLP is a sponsor.

Thats ghey. That no good assclown gets to spout his mouth off to people and replies are deleted. Good thing I never went to that site before today and wasted my time there.

NastyEllEssWon 09-22-2008 05:32 PM

this is the dumbest thing ive ever heard. a badass firebird, firehawk. i see the connection.
this pontiac g8 should be called something different. since its a 4 door gto i can see them going out and calling this a Tempest.

and to the person that wished it two door. they make em. theyre called gto's

A new GTO hasn't rolled off the line in years
