I cannot get into performance questions/answers quite yet, but lets just say the performance on our Supercharged model is more than impressive, 50 state legal and fully warranted.

The reaction was overwhelming.

Vehicle performance looks promising. Diluting the "Firehawk" legacy by putting it on a 4-door sedan is a bad decision though. Current Firehawk owners agree:

I really hope that's a joke. A G8 will never be a Firehawk in spirit, regardless of what name SLP decides to use.

Who in their right mind would think that would be a good idea?

...it is David Hamburger's name (Firehawk) and nobody gets up in arms over "M" being placed on any go fast BMW sedan...perhaps they will market Firehawk as the brand name and add a designation for what they do to the G8s (or whatever else they plan to enhance)...
