Sig shows he's a current SS owner just like you.

I'd tend to disagree, but will pose the qustion to someone who will have the true answer.
If you can provide some true actual history, we'd all like to see it.
I wouldn't consider it a true 'Firehawk' if it happened that way.
You could not order option WS6 & the Firehawk required WU6 together anyway.

As 'Avatar John Belushi' mentioned, ..., it may have simply been someone who put Firehawk badges on their CETA.
Even that just wouldn't look right tho, ...

you know, i believe it was a firehawk but it could have been a mecham T/A? it was one of the packages that changed the hood and they decided not to change it due to the fact it was already a composite hood.

I read your reply the wrong way when I first quoted you. I though you meant SLP did not make Trans Am Firehawks. If you would've added to your reply GM made the Trans Am and then SLP converted them to Firehawk Trans Am I would've agreed.

Now this CETA WS6 Firehawk. These 1 of 1 cars don't pertain to me or most people. Most of us will never own one or see one. 99% chance it's some guy slapping SLP badges or Firehawk stickers on them passing them off as Firehawks.

Agreed.
I also realize he wasnt trying to be rude because he did state that we wasnt trying to. Though, the young/old debate is rather stupid. It's not really my fault I was born in 88 is it? Even so, I've been working on firebirds before I was even in high school. So far I have had a project 87 TA, 94 formula, 96 v6 power, and 99 TA. Currently the 99 is really badass and I've done all the work myself because it is my ultimate hobby Also, my hobby has inspired me to be an engineer. Hopefully that works out. All I was asking is about some info on a stupid sticker I saw because I didnt believe it. And there are re-threads on many subjects all over this site, so if a moderator wants to delete this thread then he can.

i don't think anyone can truly say that the firehawks did not come with full exhaust... i'm 98.859383% sure a few of the 3rd Gen. hawks came full on race ready

Just throwing some more fuel on the fire...

Not all SLP modified Trans Ams ended up as a Firehawk -- remember the Comp T/A?

IIRC, the 96 & 97 WS6 cars were actually converted at SLP as well.

^not much fuel... 1991-97 hawks were all based off the Formula . the Trans Am hawks didn't see the light of full pruducton till 1999 . the only known LT1 trans am firehawks were based off the 25th Ann.T/A( see post #25).

Let me rephrase...

If a Trans Am went to SLP from 99-02, it left as a Firehawk. If a Trans Am went to SLP from 95-97, it left as a Comp T/A.

My reply was essentially based on the mention that all Trans Ams modified by SLP became Firehawks -- which is not true.
