Firehawk ??

I got a question regarding Firehawk. I have seen some firebird firehawks but i stumbled up on a Camaro Firehawk at a local dealer. My question is : Did they make any thirdgen Camaro Firehawk? I have never heard of that.

Of course, even though it's not legit, It would be worth checking the engine/trans etc. It might possibly(although I doubt it) have a T-ram, which could possibly be worth more than the rest of the car.

What are the details? Year, engine, trans etc......PRICE?

They claim its a 1991 camaro firehawk. 400hp , nos system and they say it does 0-100 km/h in 3.9 sec.
They want 24000 dollars for it . It smells like BS

Well, 400 horspower is pretty cool, and gas too? That's worth a little, but it's not all that uncommon. Not $24,000.

It is NOT a firehawk, that's 100% guaranteed, and it's false advertising, although, I'm not sure what your laws are.

I'm curious now to see if it's got a T-ram, are you familiar with that intake?

This is an SLP T-Ram intake:



It was only used on the REAL 92 Formula Firehawks. SLP only made less than 300 total of them and if you find one they go for about $1,500 used.

There is no such things as a Camaro Firehawk PERIOD. Don't email them an humor them asking for pics, email them with threats of notifing SLP Eng. and Firestone Tires of their copyright violation and that they could be sued.

Yes youre right about that but i dont know if you can sue them for money (different laws here) but maybe drag them to court to punish them.

IF it has the T-ram it does not mean much since for a while you could buy one from SLP, (they had a fire it went bye bye).

Sounds like some dealer is just trying to overprice a car to make a big buck.

There MIGHT be the possiblity that the car was a Race car for the Firehawk Series But not with NOS and all... I think they ran Camaros in that series as well.
