GM doesn't have the talent to create a Firehawk? Please, the only reason they didn't do so then is like you say they didn't want to. Didn't need to actually, had a Formula and a TA. What was the mark up on the Firehawk? Now maybe they do and I say go for it. Just don't call it a Judge. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

You lost me on your first sentence. What are you trying to say?

Regarding your second paragraph: I never said they didn't have the talent to create the Firehawk. On the contrary, I believe they do, and then some. Why they let it be outsourced through SLP could be for a myriad of reasons, but I think the 2 primary ones are that it would interfere with any performance exercise being conducted by Chevrolet (ie - steal some "thunder" from the Corvette) and it probably wouldn't be cost effective to build such a car on a limited basis.
