One car that really didn't make a big splash on the muscle car scene was the 2009 Pontiac G8 GT Firehawk by SLP. Only a few of these were made since GM dumped Pontiac. A few members from my muscle car club claimed they've seen one up for sale on Ebay, might be a good investment since only a few of them were made. I really don't dig foor doors, but for the power this muscle car sedan makes I'll have to make an exception. The Firehawk G8 makes 30 percent more horsepower than stock, mainly due to it's the SLP TVS 1900 supercharger. On the dyno this baby pumped out 500 horsepower and 489 lb-ft torque.

That kind of power will get this sedan going 0-60mph in around 4.3 seconds. The 1/4 mile time is 12.6 seconds, right up there with my stock 2004 SVT Mustang Cobra. Overall I'm pretty impressed with the times, I mean the car weighs around 4000 pounds, that's a lot of weight. Handling wise the Firehawk G8 is wearing a sportier suspension front and back. More cool mods include 19 inch gunmetal rims, cold air intake, baer brakes, and an agressive axle-back exhaust system. Despite the $52,035 price tag, SLP's 2009 Pontiac G8 GT Firehawk is one hell of a four door muscle car. For the money though you'd be better off getting a used ZO6 Corvette.

I posted a boat load of pictures down below of the Firehawk G8, the red and black paint scheme looks pretty good, but overall it's not my style. The picture I liked out of the bunch was the shot of the side of the sedan, doesn't the angle looks sharp. The Firehawk G8 definitely looks like an Audi from that point of view. That shot really shows off the powerful Baer brakes as well, I'm a big fan of slotted rotors and painted calipers. It really brings out the looks of the wheels and the overall car. Car and Driver said they can't keep this baby on the road because of the power!
