My friend has one of those Pro Am 3's. His is blue on the top and silver on the bottom with a small pink stripe in between. Weird combo huh? They have ground effects and a fake ram air hood all from Fiberglass Fabricators. They also come with some polished five star rims, and a numbered plate. Not a WS7, but another V8 look-alike for sure.

Kind of dumb. At least they're not trying to pass it off as a real ws6 though.

Only firehawks come with Firehawk hoods.
You cant even get a Firehawk hood uness you can prove to them you have a firehawk buy sending them the damaged hood

ws7 was a package used a long time ago like the ws6. of course the ws6 was reintroduced in 96. not the ws7 though. anybody wth ws7 on their car just wnats to look special. they should just bought a ws6. after buying hood and wheels and everything else to make a clone and call it a ws7 and they already spent enough extra money they could of bought the real deal in the first place. True?

Maybe he's just illiterate, and actually has a Firebird with the Y87 sport appearance package on his 6'er.

Just curious why you'd spend $1,500 on Ti valves for an engine that doesn't see 7k+ rpm...

He should have sprung for the titanium valves and rods package. Would have saved him a little dough and made the trips to 6800 rpm quicker.
