I like the hawks, but they're not as aggressively styled. I prefer the ws6 because the Hawks tend to have gaudy gold trim all over the place, I like the cleaner look, which is why I went with the camaro over the trans-am.

I'd go with the Firehawk. I have seen 15 different WS6's in the past week driving around. I've seen maybe 7 different Firehawks in the past year.

Not to mention the hood looks a lot nicer on the Firehawk, I think the hood on the WS6 is borderline tacky.

I guess i like borderline tacky hoods then

Your right the firehawks are much more rare, but i just prefer the look of the ws6 more, the more aggressive styling of the hood, now if they switched the hoods areound it would be a diffrent story lol.

Whatever floats your boat, its really a subjective thing when picking out which LS1 fbody you like, because they all perform the same.

Man, buy the T/A. You'll always wish you had even if you get the Hawk.

Re: diffrence between 2002 Trans Am WS6 and 2002 Firehawk?

Well i finally stopped putsing around and went to the dealership yesterday, my grandma couldnt cosign for me so i got my mom and my dad to cosign. and got a 2001 WS6 6 speed ttops black leather, 47000 miles on the body 1500 on the engine, something happen during a test drive or something to athat affect and they put ina brand new motor. Has receipts and all done by there dealership, i dont have a digital camera but i have the picture that was on autotrader, Before it was cleaned up.




The guy who sold it to me knew nothing about the car it was listed on autotrader as a formula, and if u look at the sticker on the windshield it says 5 speed now i know they have 6 speed stickers cause they sell STI's and Vipers lol. Its a dodge/subaru dealership btw, car runs amazing and i dont know if the exhaust is stock or not but it sounds very deep for a stock car dunno never really drove in an LS1 car before.

It al depends on the price but as far as looks I like the 02 ws6 wheels better than the 97-02 hawk wheels + the Hawk wheels have a problem with the finish staying on them + the paint on the some of the ls1 hawk hoods and spoilers tent or bubble and flake off, the only hawk I would buy would be a 92-5 or 97 with lt4

All the ws6,ss,firehawk ,hoods were done by the same guy's in montreal most of them have defects.SLP gave them the contract because they were very close to the gm plant were the f bodys were born.
