No thanks, way to ruin a nice car.

i dig the white one.

I said it on CGP and Ill say it here. Drop the Firewhawk name and buy the rights from GM to use the G-Force name.

Meh, Firehawk doesn't fit that car. The LS1 firehawk was one hell of a sexy car, the lines flowed so well, especially on the Formula Firehawks.

I second this...

wasn't the G-Force name for the concept for the 04+ GP? or was it the "official" name for that Autocross version that they were toying with?

It was the 04 GP concept.

It was the 04 GP concept.

Thanks, though I was being a huge nuthugger on that Autocross concept that they came up with...

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

i just think the firehawk name doesnt fit the car at all. come up with something else.

 

[Poopshinanigans]

Fuego Halcón?

 

[TommyGloves]

Figures...but not surprised...SLP re-used GTX for Grand Prix. At least Firehawk is in the same family/brand.

I agree...give it a new name. It's a new car model.

 

[Chrisco]

I'm gonna hop on the bandwagon for this one; definite NO to that name.

What was SLP's GTX before the Grand Prix?


And...agreed with everybody to drop the name


But I'd rock the hell out of that any day

Plymouth GTX 67-71

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

just like the regal gsx even though the name GSX was used on a skylark originally.

same difference.

 

[Poopshinanigans]

Or like a Monte Carlo and Impala SS in the early 2000's (with the N/A 3.8), even though when SS was first used they went of cars i'd want to buy. Not total POS's.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

i change my views. slp has already done stupid things, let them use firehawk on the G8.

I will third that.

Firehawk just automatically relates to firebird. GM probably pays people to sit in a room with no windows just to think up names. I cant believe that there going to ressurect a name of the past for a car that has no relation the the firebird.

It isnt all that catchy for a G8.

I like the ideas that they have though....

SLP owns the Firehawk® name, not GM
SLP is resurrecting it, not GM...

Supercharger FTW, but it better have some really impressive returns to try to live up to the name, else it be like one of the millions of special mustangs that have "graced" the automotive world...

Plymouth GTX 67-71

I know that...... We had a 69(well...Roadrunner, almost the same car)

I guess I read it wrong, to me it sounded like someone said that SLP used the GTX name before the Grand Prix.

 

[skeezer]

goddammit

 

[IDAFC21]

i'll take the car. not the name tho.
