cosmetic difference between them... thats about it...
All trims of V8 firebirds are pretty much similar power wise...

The Firehawk should have the SLP upgrade exhaust (dual/dual) stock. Other than that, it would be the same mechanically as the WS6 unless someone ordered that particular Firehawk with additional SLP upgrades.

Yeah the basic firehawk package was just appearance stuff. However you could order suspension upgrades and other things. But they were options should be printed in the label on the door jamb

different rims, hood, and an SLP package is the difference. Firehawk is rated at 345hp (underrated in my opinion like all F-Body's)
