Default Re: What's red and has pop-up headlights?

The Firehawk is a beast. Pure and simple. Having had a '69 Z-28 (I traded it title-for-title for the ZR-1, actually... funny story there for another day) I can concur with gen2rt on the comparison. It's very accurate.

Both are uncommonly entertaining to drive. The ZR-1 has much better manners though. I couldn't drive the Firehawk daily if I wanted to. It's a street legal race car. The ZR-1 has all of the creature comforts and better road manners.

They make a very fun pair, though. Both closely related, both very similar packages but completely different execution from a different angle.
