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.
Pissed about it? Let it out to Dave Hamburger at SLP... two threads on LS1tech where the ****'s sky high already:

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

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.

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.

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..

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.

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