How much did SLP charge for the Firebird/Trans Am Firehawk package?? The only thing they really have against a WS6 is cosmetic upgrades and some minor exhaust/suspension goodies, all of which would have been scrapped if my Camaro was a Firehawk (see sig mods). There were NO engine upgrades, yet they charged a ton of money. I don't get it, what a rip off for the F-body version as well. Now the thirdgen Firehawk (which was around 200 production units), thats something to talk about!
That package for the Firebird Firehawk was just under $5,000 but of course that didnt include a supercharger along with other minor things done to it that the f-body firehawk didnt have.

There are FAR too many other attractive, fun sedans for that price range.... I love my Fbody but if I were in the market for a family hauler I'd be much more inclined to pay 20k less for a new EVO X or used STi and be low 13s stock and if I wanted more spend the $1000 to get there....this is absurdly priced.

lol.. why are you going to do that? Are you going to put the stock lid back on and lose hp or waste money getting another aftermarket lid just so it can have a different name? either way its a lose lose situation.

I would buy the G8, then with the 18,900 that I would have to spend to upgrade to the firehawk package, I would use to buy a used fbody with full bolt on's and run 11's and have change to spare. Two cars, a daily driver G8, then a monster weekend car.
