Never get tired of seeing that video. Most badass Firehawk ever built.

One of the third gen guys used to own #2, he paid about 25k for it.

I've always loved those cars.

$39,000 in 1992!

 

[Spivitz]

Crazy how much faster cars are today.

 

[DEEZUZ]

No idea that ever exsisted....

13.0 back then was Hauling Ass!

My pal bought a 1989 5.0 5 speed brand new. I put a few miles on it, it was awesome.
It was running 13.5x, bolt on Powa!

I loved the Formula and Firehawk of that body style. There was a red Firehawk that used to be around the Schaumburg area when cruising and street racing was happening. I was rowdy! I'm sure it had an aftermarket cam with as hard as it cammed. Sounded great at idle and WOT was insane.

The pontiac that used to be in Schaumburg/Hoffman estates , off golf rd. had one in their showroom back then. We used to go there just to see it .

I always loved that intake manifold, what a crazy looking setup. For some reason I have a thing for them like the BXRs on the Fords. Also one of the only third or fourth gen F-bodies to come with an axle that didn't suck. A cool car with a super high price tag to begin with. Although times have moved on I wouldn't consider it a slouch at this point.

Collectibility aside I"d still be inclined to take a TTA though.

ive gotta finish my damn 92 formula......

 

[Pressure Ratio]

Considering a 1992 Mustang 5.0 made 225hp and the standard vette made 300hp, this thing was a monster with 350hp / 390tq.

The fact that they had all that motor work, a 6 speed trans and a Dana 60 make it easier to justify the cost. But damn it was not cheap at all. I wish I had the money for one of them back then. I would love to own one now. lol

Still my all time favorite car.

I had a chance to buy a 92 Firehawk years ago. But I still owned my Camaro SS that I wanted to sell.

I remember reading about the only 1992 Firehawk convertible in Pontiac magazine years ago. If I remember correctly. It was built by SLP for a huge Firebird/Trans Am collector who loves rare Pontiac convertibles. It was the only 91/92 Firehawk to use a Trans Am body with the Formula hood as well as being the only convertible. I thought I recall it had every available Firehawk option too.

I may even still have the magazine.

I had a red 1989 WS6 Formula, T-Top, 5.0 TPI, 5 speed. It's still one of my favorite cars. Not the fastest but for sure super fun racing around Chicago with the tops off.

SLP eventually built a mini rammed 406 aluminum sbc making serious power. It was one of the later cars in 92.

But yeah. 60k Firebird in the early 90s. A serious machine for its day.
