I hope the link works. But all the shots of this 'Bird looks like the stock ones off hawk's website. And I didn't think Firebirds came with 350 TPI's? I could be wrong tho.

It was originally a 2.8 V6, and he makes it pretty clear...

"This is the new 5.7L tpi, it's new to me but old to the world, around 40 thousand miles, alot better than the 2.8L V6."

Still odd though, that picture of the motor is the exact same picture used for Hawks Ram Air Hood Box.

Yeah, it's pretty sad when people lie about their cars.

Anyone else notice the 3rd pic down? Thats a pic of 86FyrBird's old car. The caption reads "Here is a pic of the back of my car, notice the 4th generation wing, I get alot of compliments on this wing." I'd say its just another one of those guys who <i> wishes</i> it was their car.

Yup, 3rd pic is my old car, Sonar Un's current car, and the 2 with the flames are the owner of GT Auto Accessories, he may have sold it though. But since the guy used my pics, I doubt that he is the one who bought GT Autos car.

Either way I'll notify both.

I think we should all do what me and fast83camaro did get onto his site and leave him comments like its not his, to bad someone elses cars getting taken, **** talk him before the owner of the car finally finds out. Scare the crap outta him he's probally some **** boy trying to be big see what happens when he gets hit with a barage of firebird guys saying he's bs. IF not for me do it for the sake of car guys everywhere. ""Patriotic car speech over""

I believe the car is on hawk's site because the previous owner was the guy who designed and fabricated the RA2 hood and the 4th gen spoilers. I don't know what wound up happening to that guy, but I think he may have sold the car to the guy who has that sound domain site.
