The little things like suspension, exhaust etc. to give it a little more power than a Z.....I always looked at it like if your going to buy it to leave it the way it is then get an SS...if your going to mod it then get a Z28....I mean the money you save from buying an SS you can make your Z faster than an SS. IMO

This is true and an excellent point...the difference in price if your modding isn't worth it...if you just want a sweet car that you wanna throw an exhaust on go with the SS.

Besides the LT4 option in 97, SLP also usually offered quite a few other options on the SS/Firehawks. You could get several different suspension packages, different LSD units, shifter, catbacks, etc.
The SS & Firehawk are really more of a complete package car that doesn't need (or need as much) modding like a stock Z28/Formula/TA. Plus they are a little more unique, which can make them more fun to own (especially the really rare ones, like the LT4s
).

And if you really want to get specific, there was also one prototype LT4 Firehawk, and two prototype LT4 WS6s.
