Re: CAMARO 1LE vs FIREHAWK
a 1le firebird or the firehawk, no question about it. the firehawk is much faster than the basic 1le cars
1le camaros are much more plentiful. I've only ever seen 1 firehawk, and 1 1le bird for sale ever, camaros are on ebay all the time
i think the 1le birds are the coolest, simply because you never see them.

Re: CAMARO 1LE vs FIREHAWK
I like the Firehawks too That said, I wouldn't trade my Camaro for one. How does that make any sense? I have wanted a Camaro since 1988, practically begged my dad for one (he helped my buy a 1982 Ford Escort). I have been pining for one for years till I got the 90 model I have now.
Values = twisted?!?

Re: CAMARO 1LE vs FIREHAWK
why is the fire hawk that much better? I dont think i have ever seen a firehawk up close? What makes it faster then say the z28 with a 305 tpi 5 speed with a 3.42 rear end? I can see it being alot more rare but why the ultimate 3rd gen.

Firehawk option for standard content: Engine: 4-bolt main cylinder block, forged steel crankshaft, 1053 alloy forged steel "Pink" connecting rods, lightweight high silicon cast aluminum pistions, steel billet hydraulic roller camshaft, high output aluminum cylinder heads with stainless steel valves, high flow, down draught, TPI intake manifold and stainless steel tubular exhaust manifolds and dual catalytic exhaust system. Drive Train: 6-speed corvette ZF manual transmission, Dana 3" low-mass aluminum driveshaft, Dana 44 limited slip rear axle with 3.54:1 final drive ratio and 8.5-inch ring gear, 1LE brake system, 17x9.5 inch cast aluminum wheels and high durometer suspension bushings
I think this answers it did these cam with the slp t-ram didnt it and came with 350 hp and 390 ftlbs

Re: CAMARO 1LE vs FIREHAWK
25 units vs 1500, the Firehawk wins again.
Mostly red with gray interior, vs white with gold trim and tan interior.. Firehawk for the win.
V8 growl vs turbo whistle - almost a tie but I think most people could agree that the sound of a V8 is preferable to a V6 even if the 6 is turbocharged.
17" wheels vs 16" wheels. Advantage Firehawk.
No nonsense Formula body vs "fat Elvis" Trans Am body... Firehawk.
6spd manual vs 4spd automatic overdrive... Firehawk.
With all due respect to the TTA... The Firehawk comes out ahead, in my opinion. FWIW the 85-90 Trans Am body is my favorite of the Thirdgen line. I just really don't like refrigerator white... That's coming from someone who's owned 3 white thirdgens (including a white 86 T/A), and another off-white. The tan interior and gold trim just looks trashy, like a guy in a white suit with a huge gold chain. I just personally don't like the layout and there's something a little off about a high performance V6.
A 1LE Camaro is just another LB9/5spd or L98 G92, just with bigger front brakes and no A/C... And usually with the basic interior and few options. I'll take the nicer car that takes a little longer to stop, thanks.

Re: CAMARO 1LE vs FIREHAWK
yeah i answered my own question once i actually looked at them. I wish the 91-92 z28 came with those options that would be perfect
did the firehawks come in t top? I would guess no

Re: CAMARO 1LE vs FIREHAWK
^^^ This. It has T-tops for the same reason it's not red. The car was shipped to SLP from the dealership to be converted. It's one of the few cars that weren't ordered specifically to be converted.
I'm sure there are more pics out there, but here are a couple and a description from http://www.firebirdgallery.com
I'm sure there are more pics out there, but here are a couple and a description from http://www.firebirdgallery.com
This 1 of 1 Arctic White Firehawk #25 is owned by Michael Wempe. This Firehawk is a truly unique Firebird. It is the only '92 model painted Artic White, the only one with T-Tops, the only one with a full roll cage and only one of two to receive SLP's Super Duty 366c.i. all aluminum racing block. This rare and unusual mill is rated at 375 horsepower and a stump pulling 400lb/ft of torque. Figures reminiscent of the late 60s early 70s blocks. Installed in a car weighing 3200lbs to say this makes for an exciting ride is an understatement!! So what tranny is mated to such a beast. In keeping with the all out performance design of the rest of the car a 6-speed ZF transmission with a carbon fiber clutch were installed to provide lethal shifting. Out back a Dana 44 rear end ensures ALL the power gets to the ground. To handle all the torque a beefed up Level III suspension was also installed by SLP along with a set of front springs from a 301 Turbo TA to accommodate the lighter aluminum block. Other interesting perks about this Firehawk include a hood that is aluminum and a relocated battery. Ronal 17x9.5" aluminum wheels equipped with the trademark Firehawk SZ P275/40ZR17 tires provide monster meat hooks for plenty of grab. With all this power what about the brakes you say? How about a set of Power Brembo F-40 disc brakes!! These are good for 60mph to 0 in an incredible 110'.
On the inside dual Recaro seats provide comfortable seating for any driving. Each one comes with a 5-point harness to make sure you stay in the seat. The back seat has been deleted to reduce weight. Not all the creature comforts have been abandoned though. You'll find an AM/FM stereo with a built in CD player, air conditioning, power steering and dual airbags. With this kind of equipment the car is not only a rare bird but one that could hold its own on any track.

Re: CAMARO 1LE vs FIREHAWK
a 1le firebird or the firehawk, no question about it. the firehawk is much faster than the basic 1le cars
1le camaros are much more plentiful. I've only ever seen 1 firehawk, and 1 1le bird for sale ever, camaros are on ebay all the time
i think the 1le birds are the coolest, simply because you never see them.

Re: CAMARO 1LE vs FIREHAWK
Didnt get a chance to talk w them about the Hawks tho.
On a side note I had a SLP chip in my 89 formula 350 4 a day back in 92 and it was terrible. It had a 5k revlimiter!? I lost a lot of ET and mph. The parts worked tho.
I talked with one of their chip burning guys back in the day and he didn't sound very impressive. Buuut then it was all new and we had a big learning curve.

Re: CAMARO 1LE vs FIREHAWK

Yeah, it doesn't say much about his level of tuning detail. I meet Ed and Dave at a lunch during SEMA several years ago.

That would be cool to have talked to them and meet as many people in the early stages but I have met so called experts in other fields and its a bit disappointing when you start to see they aren't half the hype

You too?? As I've been collecting parts for my 86 TA, I've often been thinking that if I bail on this one the parts will be good for a later GTA...or TTA...

Re: CAMARO 1LE vs FIREHAWK
3rd gen Hawks didn't have a GM factory warranty, therefore its a tuner car. All above you mentioned including 4th gen Hawks had a factory GM warranty.

Re: CAMARO 1LE vs FIREHAWK
I would be willing to bet that the reason for the SLP warranty was due to the logistics of training however many thousand GM dealerships in doing warranty work on just a few highly modified cars rather then it having anything to do with it being a Production car.

Re: CAMARO 1LE vs FIREHAWK
1) Many year 1LE camaros had a production of less than 25 or so when you do not consider the B4C (police cars)
2) A production car is any car that is Produced, the question comes in by whom.. And the fact that none of our cars were technically made in a Factory, they were made in an Assembly plant.
3) The TTA, Firehawk and all of the convertibles were NOT MADE IN HOUSE BY GM, they were all converted off site.
4) The Firehawk still had a Warranty. I have never heard anything to the contrary. (could be wrong) but 20 years later WHO THE HECK CARES?
Cooler: Firehawk for those who know
Faster: Firehawk 13.2 qtr mile vs 1LE 14.5 qtr mile
Retains better value: Firehawk (find one for less than $50K and I might buy it), 1LE find one for more than $20K that has sold lately.
By looking and walking around a 1LE, you would never be the wiser, unless you looked at the brakes. If you saw a firehawk, you will know by those pesky badges... WAAAAY cooler.
They made 5 colors. of the 25 there was 21 Red ones. 1 White, 1 Blue, 1 Teal, 1 Green.

Heres another
I am not disagreeing with you, just proving a point. Firehawks are as rare as chicken teeth. 1LE cars are at least being sold so if you want one you can get one. I wouldn't trade mine for a Firehawk.... but i am blinded by love

Re: CAMARO 1LE vs FIREHAWK
There was a Red 92 or 91 Camaro 1LE IIRC that sold at BJ for $41K a few years back. it has been sitting in a showroom for the past few years, be. The 27,500 is ridiculous IMHO, the 59K is insane, I did not think the cars were anywhere near worth that... not saying it did not happen, but someone really had to want the car. It is almost like there is a group like they had a few years back on the Mopars that were buying and selling for ridiculous prices just to push the prices up..
The thing I like is the prices are definitely going up, you can almost say skyrocketing. I was not aware of those cars, but they both appear to be nice examples. The one car with 10K on it would be worth twice that if it was a Hawk.
Interesting thing tho. The LB9/M5 outsold the L98 car. I am not sure if it was due to mileage, condition, or what but it was about double the price... It was not the color, usually Red outsells Blue.

Re: CAMARO 1LE vs FIREHAWK
Anything is possible, I agree, the higher the 1LE's the more for the rest of the cars...
Of course the prices with inflation... If the car new in 1990 was $20,000, and in 2010 Dollars is worth, $33,367.25 you broke even. So in reality the increase in value is not as great as one would think... It will only get worse, but as of right now that's where we are at. Honestly I think its probably closer to $35K to break even with the Consumer Price Index, but 2011 is not available yet.
Interestingly what I paid for my 1987 in 1998, is about what it would be worth today in the same condition as I bought it... More or less it is a wash, as the increase in value has remained the same as inflation.

Re: CAMARO 1LE vs FIREHAWK
The $39995 price tag of a 1992 Firehawk would be equivalent of $62,160.44 in 2010, ultimately the value of a nice hawk is about the same as inflation over the past 18 years. However back in 2005 or 2006, you could have purchased a 91-92 Firehawk for $22000, so in the past 5 years you could have made a killing...
