Some of you car guys and gals are probably looking at this listing and asking yourself "What is a Firebird Firehawk"? Back in 1987, Street Legal Performance (SLP) in Ste. Therese and LaSalle, Quebec, Canada. negotiated a deal with GM to design and fit a performance package for the Pontiac Firebird, which became known as the SLP "Firehawk". The Firehawk was an OEM factory performance option of the Pontiac Firebird. Essentially, this was a hot-rod option that came with GM certification and was covered under the standard warranty. Car Craft Magazine at the time proclaimed "with the best performance-to-cost ratio of any car in its class, think of Firehawk as Corvette Lite - a third less costly, and it's more thrilling." Motor Trend Magazine went on to say "this bird has predatory instincts. Oohs and ahhs are assured."
