firehawk up in flames

i was sitting at a light getting ready to race some rice burner. needless to say i tore the doors off of him. i look in my rear view and i see this trans am flying up behind me and my friend looks over and ready firehawk on the side door panel. we pace each other at about 40 mph and then he kicks it and i kick it a moment later i begin to pull on him once i hit full boost "15 psi" i pull to about 4 cars on him until i finally let out of it. he pulls up next to me at the light and the look on his face is unforgetable. he looks over at me and all he can say is damn what do u have done to that thing. all i could think to myself was he spent 30.000 or more on that car and i had 12 grand in mine and i had just taken him out. and to boot i had 4 people in my car.lol go figure

Good kill man, those Firehawks are pretty quick cars, so you must have it tuned pretty good. I have been without my car for 3 months and can't wait to run into some cool cars when i get the tranny back in.

Firehawks rock. They are meant for handling more than dragging. Was it an LS1 or an LT1 (new style nose clip or old?)
