Why did people buy the WS6 when the Firehawk (WU6) was more powerful?

It seemed as if "Ram Air" T/As (WS6) were a dime-a-dozen on dealers lots in the final years of the F-body. The Firehawk (WU6) was pretty much AWOL from showrooms, despite 15 more horses and a prettier snout. Did the extra $850 keep buyers away from the Firehawk?

Personally, I really like the Firehawk. From the standpoint of styling and exclusivity, it was the only Pontiac F-body I even vaguely considered.
