I found this firehawk on firebird gallery.com and thought I would share it w/ you guys. I and sure alot of you have already seen it but enjoy.

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.

This is not the only Firebird Michael owns. In fact he has quite a nice collection of them. An ultra-rare '68 Ram Air II convertible, a '68 Ram Air I coupe, and a '68 non-original Ram Air I coupe. (see the '68 Firebirds Lot#2).

Too bad they have the wrong year..
didn't firehawks start in 91?

 

92 firehawk 'verts are just as rare.

 

IF you had a Firehawk, would you drive it alot or keep it in a garage? Lets take a vote or something. I would keep it in a garage and drive it as rare as it is.

 

I'd build a video screen aroung my grage around the firehawk and pretend to drive it

 

92 was the first year, it says red was the only color option....so does that mean they only made red ones? cause I've seen a hunter green one on an episode of "american muscle cars"

 

still a very mint car!

 

91 was the first year, but they only made about 6. I think all of the 91s were red. In 92 you could get red, green, white and.... why am I thinking blue was offered too?

 

I would drive any firehawk..haha
Aj

 

People daily drive fourth gen Firehawks..I'd probably daily drive a third gen if I had one, though to school only, not work..people are ruthless in the parking lots of retail establishments =P


Yes, I was under the assumption that '91 was the first year also..that's why I said they had the year wrong

 

well...i wouldnt ever daily drive a 3rd gen hawk considering the value and rarity:
if i was rich enough to own a 91-92 hawk, ide do like pennyless would, and pretend to drive it too
and if i had that vert. hawk, it would be hidden in an underground air-conditioned bomb shelter or sumthin

 

I can think of a rare car...






And then make a post about it

 

my freinds mom has a 2000 firehawk and I believe it has like 40,000 miles on it already...they have gone from here in Michigan to Colorado and back once. But they drive it alot..
