Default Teaser pics of my new DD...02 Firehawk Formula

Here are some teaser pics of my "new" daily driver....a 2002 Formula Firehawk. It is a very well maintained one owner car. I picked it up yesterday so I havent even had time to wash it, but its still pretty clean. After its Zainotized it should really look good. Its bone stock except for the front rotors...but knowing me it wont stay that way. The windows are getting tinted either today or tomorrow, then I am !molding it, doing a cat-back and adding the Firehawk optional SLP/Bilstien suspension (about a 1in drop.)









I will of course do a photoshoot after its detailed!

Very nice purchase, always liked the look of white birds. That's gotta be a little rare of a car, you don't see many out there.

Thanks...I like everything about it except the rear wing. But hopefully it will grow on me (or I can find a white TA hatch somewhere!) And actually I have 5 Firebirds. A 68 (not running yet), a 87 Formula, a 98 TA, the 02 SOM WS6 and now the 02 Firehawk. So I am not Firebird poor by anymeans!

Nice new ride, ..., :cool

What options are listed on the passenger door tag?!?



Did someone lift it in the wrong position? Front left fender appears to be bent out because of the miplacement of a jack or lift under the fender tab.

FYI, if it has the SLP exhaust, you won't find a much better flowing exhaust. They really are a good piece, albeit a bit quiet for some people.

I don't it's worth removing for the cost of another similar aftermarket unit.

Get it registered at firehawkowners.com & post a newbie thread at firehawk.com! (heh, that's funny, ... You. A newbie! Ha, ...)

yea beautiful car. but i myself wouldnt have a formula firehawk as my DD. seems like it should be the other way around. Take some things off the 02 WS6 (maybe put some of it on the firehawk) and have the WS6 be your DD. arent Formula Firehawks really rare?

Its 1 of 6 white Formulas with an A4. There was 10 M6s. So yeah, its fairly rare.

The only SLP option listed is chrome wheels. The car has ebony leather but they are the "cheaper" leather seats with out side bolsters.

I thought all Firehawks had SLP exhaust on them?

It does of course have the Blackwing lid on it too. But all 02 Hawks do...right? It was optional on the SS?

Like SOM WS6s aren't rare! The Firehawk has been driven...its not show quality. Its a very clean driver but nothing even remotely close to what the SOM car is.

BTW the SOM car got another "Best of Show" Saturday!
