HOLLLLLYYYYY MOLLLLLLLYYYYYY Toms River, NJ - Firehawk, arguably one of the most legendary names in the history of Pontiac Muscle Cars is again united with a vehicle worthy of that unique badge: the 2009 G8-GT based Firehawk. Produced and available at SLP Performance Parts, Inc. (SLP), and select Pontiac dealerships nationwide, Firehawk offers the all-around powertrain performance, superior handling and braking, with headturning styling and value, true to its distinctive nameplate. Following in the footsteps of SLP’s famed Firebird Firehawk is a daunting challenge. But one test drive will convince skeptics that the 2009 Supercharged Firehawk has recaptured and refined the special magic of the first generation Firehawk. Available only on the 2009 G8 GT in any factory color, the Supercharged Firehawk’s performance and curb appeal are enhanced by a positive displacement supercharger, using the same technology as the supercharger GM supplies on the new ZR-1 Corvette, and highlighted by an aggressively styled flat-black painted hood treatment, reminiscent of early Muscle Cars. To compliment Firehawk’s front-end appearance, the rear deck lid spoiler benefits from subtle but effective styling revisions, including a flat black paint finish. Helping transfer Firehawk’s power-to-thepavement are Bridestone’s P245/40R19 Potenza RE050A Pole Position tires* and the lightweight Firehawk 19”x8” 5-spoke alloy wheels. Firehawk Standard Content Includes: • SLP TVS 1900 500 HP Series Supercharger Package • SLP PowerFlo® Stainless Steel Exhaust System • SLP Blackwing® Cold Air Induction System • SLP Sport Suspension Package • Flat Black Painted Hood and Grille Surrounds • Painted Lower Fascia Grille Inserts (Body Color) • SLP Rear Spoiler Painted Flat Black • Firehawk 19” 5-spoke, Gun Metal Painted Alloy Wheels w/Machined Spoke Face and Firehawk Logo Center Caps • Firehawk Badges • Firehawk Car Cover • Firehawk Leather (faux) Portfolio • Firehawk Birth Certificate • Firehawk Numbered Dash Plaque and Key Fobs (2) • Firehawk Floor Mats • Firehawk Embroidered Headrests Price: $18,995 on top of price of G8 GT Optional Firehawk Content: • Competition Brake Package Price: $4,995 http://www.slp-firehawk.com/pr/Firehawk%20Press%20Release.pdf I think it's worthy of the "Firehawk" moniker.

Hrm, that takes the price up to around $60k. For $10k less you can have a base model corvette with 430 hp. Adding a supercharger would probably take you over the 500 that the firehawk would make. I think I would just take the vette if I was going to drop that much money.

Really like the mods but as far as I'm concerned it's like buying a prebuilt computer.
Works off the shelf and has a nice warranty, but you could build it yourself for 1/2 the price.

prolly not. If you want an F-body, buy an F-body. Some things should be left pure. Like leaving import engines out of domestic bodies. But folks do it anyway, and it is what hot rodding is all about. Like those who shell out cash to have patina added to cars, same concept.
yeah, I agree with the f-body community, but it's not that big of a deal.
