ok, guys, what is the difference between a 96-97 firehawk and a ws6 formula. i know slp did the mods to the hawks, but did slp do the work on the ws6 cars then too? i know the hoods( pretty close but a hair different) and the wheels are different

 

SLP did both conversions. In '96 and '97 the Firehawks were built FROM Formula WS6 cars actually.

The Firehawks had more options available and more upgrades from the factory. The wheels are actually the same (Different centercaps). I believe the main differences was in the suspension and exhaust for the Firehawk.

 

didnt the 96-97 firehawks come with the LT4 engines as well? or was that just a select few?

 

Some 97 Firehawks got an LT4, I think there were 27 of them. Supposedly one of the most collectible f-bodies. WS6 wheels were a little different from Firehawk wheels.

 

I'll try and straighten some of that out for you.

SLP built both Firehawk's, and WS6's. However the Firehawk was not made from a WS6 though. Both came as Formula's from GM then SLP added the specific parts. Main difference's between the two are Wheels/tires, Suspension options, Exhuast options, the LT4 available for the Firehawk only in 1997, build # for Firehawk's.

 

Actually...29 were made.

 

Yeah and there was one that sold on e-bay a while back, one of like two with the full level two or three Bilstien suspension. I think it went for 60k or something?????
It will be a garage queen.....
I think the LT4 f-bodies will be the next Yenkos and COPOS that you will see at Barret Jackson some day.

 

let's see what was it...
27 red and 2 black?
