If you road trip through the evolution of the storied Firebird, you’ll find evidence of a predatory foul that, even in its heyday, was extremely scarce. But you’ll have to look closely, because this highly exclusive king of the asphalt jungle, SLP’s long-extinct Firehawk, can easily blend with herds of pedestrian pony cars. In fact, it’s such a coveted bloodline that a few brave souls even tried to revive the species by grafting SLP DNA onto an Aussie-born sedan. There were 19, 868 Trans Am’s produced for the 2002 model year. Of those, only 1, 503 were sent to SLP to become Firehawks (these production numbers are verified by the thick Firehawk book that is part of the included documentation). This menacing bird, was 1 of only 119 Bright Red, Ebony leather, 6-speed Firehawk coupes produced, and is a truly exceptional Trans Am that sports just 4, 332 original miles. And, if you’re looking for the ultimate street brawler-turned-show car, it presents the perfect opportunity to swoop in and snatch a highly desirable F4!
BODYWORK/TRIM:
As you can tell from my high resolution photography, Firehawk number 0750 is a pristine garage queen that’s been in the care of two very meticulous families since new. 100% straight, with no history of accidents or damage of any kind, the car’s fuselage reveals not so much as a dent or ding anywhere. High quality paint and bodywork from Troy, Michigan’s SLP Engineering blends perfectly with tight and glossy panels from GM’s St. Therese, Quebec assembly plant. And overall, this Pontiac conveys a premium sense of collectability that, when combined with its spectacular performance, creates a timeless modern classic. The original owner (2002-2015) had a clear bra installed to protect the front end of the car. It is still in place.
ENGINE:
Cosmetic appeal aside, this Trans Am is, first and foremost, a high performance street machine. Lift the ducted hood and you’ll find a potent Generation III V8, which is the forerunner to virtually all the technology still featured in GM sports cars. Utilizing an aluminum block and heads, flat top pistons and coil near plug ignition, that efficient, overhead valve LS1 creates 345 horsepower and 350 lb./ft. of Kansas-flat torque. Mechanically, the small block presents a spotless, like-new appearance, with the engine compartment looking almost exactly as it did when the car left Sheehan Pontiac-GMC’s showroom roughly 14 years ago. In general, LS1s are super stout pieces, which are virtually indestructible. And, while we know this car has been babied, you’re probably not going to break a fourth generation F-Body. Twist the key and the cylinders rumble to life, sending rhythmic notes from a low-profile air box to low-restriction exhaust pipes. Goose the throttle and the engine smoothly zings toward redline. And the car’s effortless power really begins to show itself when given enough room.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION:
A lifelong Florida car, take a look under this Poncho and spotless floors, clean stainless hardware and fresh factory equipment make it clear the car’s original owner was absolutely meticulous about maintenance. Behind that 6-speed manual gearbox, a 10-bolt, posi-traction rear end spins friendly, 2.73 gears. Braking is provided by four discs, which have been upfitted with standard anti-lock. Exhaust flows through the SLP-added stainless steel low-restriction pipes and SLP-exclusive tips. And at the corners of the car, 17-inch wheels are mounted to sticky 275/40 original Firestone Firehawk tires. Unlike Trans Am’s of the past, the fourth generation has the hardware to maximize all of its power thanks to a performance-tuned double A-arm front and 3-link rear suspension. And, with all those basics secured, GM’s official mediator for its performance madness, Acceleration Slip Regulation, was installed and activated.
INTERIOR:
Inside the car, it still retains it’s fresh, new car smell. The perfect Ebony leather bucket seats adjust electronically for the driver and fit like a glove all around, while a leather-clad steering wheel sports convenient thumb controls for an awesome Monsoon sound system. The instrument panel is a requisite red Pontiac layout that positions a small Driver Information Center next to a large tachometer and sweeping speedometer. Between the seats, a conservative shifter rides in a straight and clean console. And naturally, all the luxuries you’d expect in a modern car are present and accounted for including: power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, a power trunk and remote keyless entry with GM’s PASSkey theft deterrent system. It’s always hard to describe a car that’s essentially new in every way. So I’ll just sum this Trans Am up by saying that everything is in impeccable working order, from the optional cruise control all the way to the ice cold air conditioning. The only defect is a small, hairline crack on the passenger side door panel. Those of you who know these cars well know this was a known ‘factory defect’ on the F-body Firebird / Trans Am. Since the door panel (like the rest of the interior) is so pristine, I decided to leave the panel in place for originality. If you decide you want to change it out, I’m including in the sale another pristine, crackless, passenger door panel removed from another 2002 Trans Am. You’ll notice the clear mat in one of the pics. I had custom clear mats cut to fit over the Firehawk mats to keep them perfect. The original owner added window tinting to protect the interior from fading when drivng in the hot Florida sun.
