As a firehawk owner I'm not surprised by this at all. SLP has always done stuff to try to keep a dying fan base. Their site is garbage, they used to have a message forum where all the firehawk owners, ss owners, etc. for the cars they enhanced, NOT MADE, were able to BS and ask questions about their cars, get production numbers but they took it down claiming it was too expensive to maintain.

Trust me their quality control is AWFUL, my car took almost 5 months the 1st time and about the same the 2nd time and they could never tell me where the car was. Just that GM didn't have it anymore and it was somewhere on their lot. Great thanks. Then one day it just shows up at the dealership with no warning or notice. Having one I can tell you I'm not one of the owners that thinks it's any better, faster, more expensive then any other T/A out there. Just some simple body mods, and minor upgrades here and there. If I had to do it again I probably wouldn't spend the extra dough just for the name.

I think true car enthusiasts will know the original firebird Hawks from this pathetic attempt to keep the name out there. They are a business and in the end the only thing that EVER really matters is the bottom line not the customers or their feelings.
