This was my 1999 Pontiac Firehawk.  A lot of people are not aware of what a Firehawk even is.  After attempting to explain that it is a limited availability model available through Pontiac, and modified by SLP Engineering, I usually gave up and just told them it was a fancy Firebird!  This is car number 319 of 721 produced for 1999.    I had originally ordered a 1998, but as those familiar with Firehawks know, the 1998 series was cancelled.  Hence, built in March of 1999,  this car was 1.5 years in the making. 

Alas, the car was sold in October 2006, to make way for the 2006 MINI Cooper S.
