I will be selling my car in the near future. This car will run high 12's low 13's @177.3 kph right now on radials. I have the timeslips. It is currently governed at 184 MPH if you do not think it will go that fast call offical BS and I will back it up. If. The hawk is still under warranty for another 1 1/2 years or 13000 miles. I will give all the details/ MOD's to include window stickers and a test drive to see if it is what your looking for upon request and work out the detail. You guys FBE are getting first chance at it.

I will be ordering a 02 Formula Firehawk 1LE, A4 with the auburn diff. goal is 10.90's and a triple threat champ. That I can drive to the commisary by spring. I am tweaking my package that I was going to put on this one. I should come out 1 sec quicker for about the same price invested. Without the worry of exploding the rear, blowing the clutch and my times will be consistant or at least that is the plan. I am currently dialed in within 4/10 12.8-13.1 with trap speeds of 177.3 on all runs. 4/10 is too much and will make matters worse if I pump it up any more. 60ft times are 2.15-2.30 range with spinning tires. I can eliminate most of my 4/10 with a A4 running slicks.

OK, Bruce, you are excused.

Guys, cancel that call to the asylum ... :)

P.S. - anybody want to buy a nice, 18kmi 98 Camaro Convertible? Very good mileage w/V6 ... or Bruce, would you like to swap? :>

Yo Bruce, I am still thinking about it. If I was a millionare. I was comparing blue book values, and found there is no mention EVER in either NADA or kelly blue books of the firehawk package. That's a load of crap huh? NADA doesn't even recognize the WS6 package. I will beat you before you get rid of it.

It is negotiable depending on what you would let me keep for the follow on project? I am looking at around $25,000 the way it sits. I paid $30,000 and have about $2,000 in mods done. I have the bill of sale, window stickers.

Can you wife drive? I remember her from Bitburg. My car is very quiet until it sees a snake (cobra or viper) and then it just eats them alive. It eats the cobra in one bite the viper is harder to catch but can be beat RT10 but sometimes poisenous GTS can get away. I have a performance alignment on the front end it handles better in the curves but is a little more prone to wander on uneven roads like the truck lane of the autobahn with the wide tires. Dave you could still lose to the Hawk if your sniffing 125hp with street tires you will be lucky to see 12's prove me wrong. The hawk handles when the swaybar is in so you need to watch out there too just a friendly warning.
