You have the ONLY 01 Formula Hawk with a 6 speed.

hey blake i tried to find ur car registry on firehawk.org or w/e... I found it... but for some reason its showing 2 six speed SOM hawks...... WEIRD. Either im not seeing something, one of the registered is fake, or SLP's #'s are wrong.

Im sure im just mis-reading tho but here are the links:

THIS ONE IS UR CAR.... Build #0444 (interesting number. Exactly 100 were built after urs)
http://www.firehawkowners.com/car/1351.html

And the other...
http://www.firehawkowners.com/car/1116.html


If u look thru the RPO's they both show to be 6spd......
U should call SLP and see whats up..... One shows t-tops (yours) the other doesnt.... but still SLP states only 2 were built.... (1) 6spd and (1) Auto.. or is that only 2 T-TOP cars.... just processiong lol


IF the case is that there is 1 hard top 6spd SOM and 1 t-top SOM 6spd, then according to the link BBALLR posted, that also makes 1 AUTO SOM TTOP and 1 Auto Hardtop, thus bringing total SOM Formula Hawk Production to 24...

My mind thinks WAYYY too much

Your right...I totally overlooked that it was an 01. I just assumed it was an 02 because everyone I have ever seen has been an 02. Even better find!

They are very different. They are much softer IMHO and they dont have that super annoying side bolster that really doesnt do much.

I love that car! One of my dream f-body's for sure. My plans are to get a similar car and keep it relatively stock just to enjoy. The heads/cam and built motor stuff is cool and all but gets old sometimes.

My head is spinning now...haha.

There seem to have been 4 SOM Formula Firehawks made for 2001. 2 are coupes, and 2 are t-top.

Of those 4...one is an auto/t-top, one is an auto/coupe, one is a 6 speed/coupe and one is a 6 speed/t-top (mine)


My car has cloth seats, and I prefer the cloth to leather...much more comfortable imo.

Thank you all again for the compliments!

Sorry, I misread and misposted.

You are correct. You have the only 01 TTop SOM Formula Hawk produced. Thats still freaking awesome. A living collectable.

Not to be annoying...but there are two 01 ttop SOM Formula Hawks...one is an automatic and one is a 6-speed.

Detoxx...we no longer have the same car...I have always loved the way your car looks! The Dream Cruise was amazing. It was more than I expected. I was lucky enough to meet a great guy that invited us to his BBQ right off Woodward. He has a modified new ZR1 and an LS7 Solstice among other amazing cars. Also, my wife's aunt, uncle and cousin live in Detroit. It was a great trip!

Yeah, the Solstice was the orange color. My Pewter T/A went to a member in Texas, so it is in good hands. I knew when I got the G8 that it wasn't the right move for me, even though it was a nice car...Firebirds are in my blood. Woodward is an event every car person needs to attend at least once!
