Default I'm Getting a Firehawk

So, it looks like I'm going to be acquiring a red '99 Trans Am Firehawk soon, which I am very excited about. It's seemingly all stock, which won't be the case for long. Shown below, since we all love pictures.



M6. Apparently, it has Bilstein suspension and an Auburn differential, both from SLP originally on the vehicle. Any clarification on what exactly these include?

Go ahead and give me mod ideas while you're all at it.

congrats! I recently picked up a Hawk as well. Mine also has the bilstein suspension, which to my knowledge sits lower than stock, has variable rate springs, bilstein shocks, different trans mount... auburn diff gives better traction? not to sure on that. What number is your car?

Awesome. I have a 95 M6 hardtop and an 02 M6 t top formula.

These are really fun cars, hold their value and get attention wherever they go.

Scroll through the special vehicle section-lots of SLP info there.

Also check out Firehawk.org- lots of production info there.

Congrats on the car- looks great

#81. How low would you consider that? And it has about 90k miles, it's not as if I'm going for collector value, so I would not keep it stock for that reason. Unless you can think of something other than that that would be a reason for keeping it stock, it'll be seeing upgrades. But it'll still be babied.

Yeah, well the deal never went through. The dealer that had the car up for sale sold it to someone else, even while we were in negotiations to buy it.

Sad for both me and the dealer, because I would've paid good money for it. Oh well, the search continues.
