There was 20 in 02 total. Yes. However, see below.
In 01 they made 2 SOM Firehawk Formulas.

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

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.

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!
