Hmm... I'm not sure about a Firehawk Camaro... I could see a ZL1 Camaro; maybe a COPO Camaro. I'd figure they'd keep the Firehawk name for a Firebird, but if they have one for a G8, then you could be onto something.

Maybe that's what it was - the power curve was pretty soft on the bottom; that sounds familiar. That 1900 is good for 800 HP, according to Magnusun so I think that's get me by pretty good. A 2300, for me, would just be for bragging rights, LOL.

I'm just worried about that driveshaft and rear end (along with the axles). I'm sure the wheelhop is gone, but it sounded like the Launch Control would allow a 4K RPM launch, and adding another almost-100 horse' close to that RPM, let alone a lot more torque could make a bunch of spaghetti out of all that stuff, no?... I'm just throwing it out there, having not seen much more than the statement about it handling something like 600 horse'; I don't remember if that person what credable or not though.
