I obviously wasn't clear on this. The early Firehawks had special engines
that produced a lot more power than their Formula or TransAm counterparts
of the day. Here is the real stuff: 350TPI, 350hp, 390ft/lbs. Special
rods, forged pistons, aluminum blocks...
Production numbers:
1992 25
1993 201
1994 500
1995 743
1996 86
1997 163
How about that Competition Package Option you ask? Just a few cool things
like:
6 point roll bar
Recaro seats
Simpson 5-point harness'
4 piston Brembo calipers
13" cross drilled rotors
rear seat delete
lightweight hood
aluminum block
These cars are perfect examples of why 'tuner' cars scare the SCAC and the
SEB. There no definitive information as to when these options and others
like them started or ended. You want them in stock?

are you talking about something else? I also assume you are talking 93+
cars, 500-some built in 1993.
I haven't seen ANY Firehawks that are "shampoo" above the well driven &
prepared *stock* Formula or even the Z28 .
