A Firehawk is built out of a TA Firebird or a Formula Firebird. Firehawks had boosts in hp every year that it was offered when compared to a TA of the same year. All Firehawks were modified by SLP.

Well lets see...

Formula/Trans Am - 310hp
Formula/Trans Am Ws6 - 325
Formula/Trans Am Firehawk -335/345

The Firehawks started out as Formulas in the beginning with only a few being made and after that, theyve been limited produced under SLP and in 2001 the tenth anniversary Hawk came out which was only in black with gold stripes, wheels, and exhaust tip. You can get more info on them at http://www.firehawk.org

The Ws6 were also produced by SLP up untill 98 when they started being produced by ASC.

Ive personally see them both dyno somewhere along the lines of 300-310 for an A4 and 310-320 for M6 stock.

Hope this helped

The Firehawk also has a different front fascia to go along with its hood... The hood also has Two Functional Heat Extractors closer to the back that looks kind of like nostrils on each side of the hood. I seemed to have lost all my pics... Ill try to find one so it can give you an example of what im talking about
