Overpriced but still a nice car. He must have raced some idiot ZO6 drivers, that Firehawk isn't faster than a ZO6. Someone needs to knock that arrogant owner down a few notches.

I dunno, looks unfinished to me. I like that style wheel but not that offset. I'd like to see a set with much less backspace.

For the money, they should at least swap to the GXP front and rear fascia's. Not that I don't like the GT's but that car is really expensive. Performance is pretty solid though. I respect them but wouldn't be placing my order for it.
