I am looking at buying a F-body and can not make up my mind as to which one to get. The 2 cars are a 2002 Ram Air T/A with 3000 miles, six speed, blue and the other one is a 2002 Firehawk T/A with 11000 miles, six speed, blue. Both are in showroom condition and both are priced about the same and have the same options. Is there any reason to get one over the other? I like the Ram Air hood alittle better than the Firehawk hood but the Firehawk is going to be worth more down the road. Any suggestions? rctreece

Firehawk, they're gonna be rare, just like the old muscle car special packages. You answered your own question in your last sentance of your post. Blue is also a awesome color.

Well, in 2002, the Firehawk came with 345hp. It had the SLP blackwing lid and better exhaust than the WS6. Now, everyone argues about weither or not a t/a is faster than a z28 and whatnot...

So if that stuff matters, get the Firehawk, especially if it's about the same price. I know what i'd choose.

Get the Hawk-there worth more and the 2002 came with better exhaust,Blackwing lid-plus you dont see very many Hawk's there rare!!!

I agree. I have a vert Hawk and have yet not to see one on the Houston area. I actually stumbled across mine at a local carmax dealership sitting in the back. Needless to say my heart stopped when i saw it. You will get more "rarity" with the Hawk. My wife also likes the WS6 hood, I just like the fact that I can say that there were only 1501 Firehawks built in 2002 and out of that there were an average of 6-7 black verts made. Mine also is an "auto", so it may be even "rare-er" (<--is that a word).
So anyways get the HAWK!

It depends on what you want to do with it. Do you want to mod the car? Would it bug you to start modding a hawk if you think it might hurt the value of it latter on down the road. For the most part your getting the same car(even color). If you get the WS6 your probably gonna do a catback and lid first which the Hawk already has. I think it basically comes down to looks. Pic the one you like the most ,I think youll be happy with either.

I do plan on doing slight mods to either car but nothing that cant be put back to stock. The wife says get the Hawk and then go buy another TA and do whatever the hell I want to it. That is cool but will have to wait because I already have a Silverado, Blazer,and bass boat. I move around alot due to my job and if I get a Hawk I can tow it with the Blazer and tow the boat with the truck. The only reason I like the ram air better is the hood. Other than that they are the same to me. The Hawk does have a loudmouth on it but the guy has all the parts to return it to stock.

XtinctHawk02

Keep in mind that the loudmouth is loud and especially VERY loud when you decide to add cam,heads, and so forth. Some people do not like the loudmouth once those things are added. I have the SLP dual,dual 3" exhaust with a 3" flowtech cut-out and has a deep loudness to it.

I drove a Ram Air with Loudmouth a few weeks ago. It was loud but sounded good. If I get the Hawk I will not be adding headers or anything like that but will leave the LM on. Thanks for the tip. By the way, nice car. I found several convertables for sale but i am looking for a T-Top car.

I say go for the Hawk, its always going to be worth more, and the rarity is always a good feeling. Either way you'll it.

Hawk all the way, just for the rarity factor.

Even though I have a mint WS6, production # 10. I would get the Firehawk, there much rarer.

Hawk Is Gonna Have Better Susp And Better Dif I Think Also Worth More But The Ws6 Looks Better I Dunno I Guess It Depends What Ur Going For ....hell Id Buy An Old 98 And Just Go Nuts If I Had 2 Do It Again But Im Kinda Looking Off The Deep End I Think

I like the hawk hood much better-has a cleaner look.
I guess that's why I went with the Chevy-not as
aggresive styling.

When I went to buy a TA,I found I liked the Firehawk hood more than the WS6.The WS6 looks mean,but I didn't like the way it lined up on the front bumper.The Hawk was only $100 more to order,so I went with it.
As you can see alot of Firehawk owners mod the hell out of there car.Screw keeping it stock for future resale!! I do keep all stock parts so it can be put back to stock if needed.

I like the Firehawk hood better than the WS6. I say go for the Hawk. I love mine.

I am think I will get the Hawk and then buy a WS6 hood to go on it. That way I will have the option of putting the Hawk hood back on it I want to.
