Its a numbered car.. Comes with SLP Exhaust, SLP version Ram air Box, Firehawk Floor mats, Firehawk Rims, Firehawk Hood, SLP Springs, SLP shocks, Firehawk Car cover and a cool dash plaq. Thats the difference between our 95 Firehawk and a 95 T/A.. There are more options out there for the Firehawks but thats the additional options our car has..
In 1991-1992 the Firehawks were basically a race car for the street. They came with Roll cages, 5 point harness, Recaro Seats, 6 speed tranny, Some with built big cubed SB's, Dana 60 rear, Rims, Big brakes, Suspension.. once the 4th gens came it was mainley a apperance, and bolt on option..

The LS1 cars are a lot less than you listed as the difference. Wheels, Hood, Front Bumper as far as base hawk options
The Firwhawk is an upgrade that could be added to a formula or a trans am, just like the WS6 was an upgrade. SLP did the LS1 Hawk upgrades.
Link to any big block 3rd gen hawks?

I believe from 93-97 you could only get a Formula Firehawk. The T/A firehawks didnt start untill the 98's.. The LS1 Firehawks also got the Gulwing intake airbox.

Suspension options as in Bilstein package or 1LE package, Rear diffential options when earlier ones got Torson, later ones got Auburn, Floor Mats, Deck Mat, Car Cover, better breathing cat-back, SLP/Donaldson Airlid, ..., & yes 1999-2000 "Ol' Lumpy" Spoiler & the 2001/10th-2002 IROC style spoiler.
Some base models without additional SLP options are indeed just a 'hood & a set of different wheels'.
The 1LE cars got larger sway bars, special springs, 4-way adj Koni's, all new bushings, etc.
So, packing them together & saying 'just a hood & wheels' is not justitfication for a slam.

Value.
Much better than just another damn WS6 like yours.
Wanna play that way?!?
Your nieghbor have one, & gettin' more knobjobs than you are?
Dollar for dollar, a similar constructed Firehawk like your SOM/WS6 will bring better value everyday. Don't deny it whether you like it or not.

Dude, get off your high horse. The real high value Firehawks are not the 4th gens, its the 3rd gens which are the real thing. 4th gens will NEVER reach that status.
4th gen will hold more value than TAs and WS6, obviously, but dont get that attitude of "value" too serious.
Wanna play that way!?!? Sheesh...
