2009 G8-GT SLP Firehawk Detailed

If you are a muscle car enthusiast, then you know that such a vehicle is never complete as it exits factory doors. Without tweaking, changing, chopping and further adding stuff, your muscle car will never truly represent you, the rear-wheel drive fanatic.

Following that line of thought, SLP Performance Parts released a new Firehawk performance pack for the 2009 G8-GT Pontiac. The highlights of the kit are the TVS 1900 500 horsepower supercharger, Blackwing Cold Air Induction system, PowerFlo Stainless Steel Exhaust system and sport suspension package. If you are up to it, these features will help you reach 60 mph in 4.3 seconds.

The visual addition to the series model come in the same colors the factory uses for the Pontiac. It features flat black painted hood and grille surround, painted lower fascia grille inserts, and black painted rear spoiler, all molded on a body that rest on 19 inch five spoke gun metal painted alloy wheels. We can use these wheels and the Bridgestone’s P245/40R19 Potenza RE050A Pole Position tires for a hell of a burnout...

No Firehawk is worthy of the name without its logo all over the place. On this kit, the brand can be recognized on the car cover, numbered dash plaque and key fobs, on the floor mats and of course on the interior leather seats.

The Pontiac G8-GT will go in production on April 1 and will have a MSRP of $31,360. After being fitted with the $18,995 Firehawk customization kit, the price tag on the car will exceed the 50k mark. When you buy it, add the $4,995 for the optional Competition Brake Package and you will really learn the meaning of the phrase "financial crisis."
