STAGE 1 CONTINUATION FIREHAWK

The Hawks Stage 1 Continuation Firehawk sets the stage for this series. A modern drivetrain, standard 1LE disc brakes and WS6 suspension components blend iconic design with the best OE quality performance parts available. This is truly a one-of-a-kind driving experience.
BODY
The Hawks Stage 1 Continuation Cars can be built on a variety of different Firebird platforms. Choose between any 1991-1992 Firebird or Trans Am and your preference of body style and retro inspired color options and we take it from there. No donor car needed.
Already have a nice low-mile donor car you'd like to convert? Reach out to us and we can go over the details.
INTERIOR
Gone are the days of loose steering and rattling panels. The interior of this Firebird has been completely gone through and is well sorted out. Upgrading to the Competition Package replaces both front seats with period correct Recaro's seats, Simpon 5-point harnesses, a Firehawk inspired roll bar and rear seat delete package.
CHASSIS
Starting with the best low-mileage examples available, we update the feel of the car with standard WS6 suspension, lowering springs w/modern spring rates and upgraded shocks. Equipped with a modern 10.0:1 steering box, the Continuation Firehawks drive just like a modern Firebird should.
WHEELS & BRAKES
EXHAUST
The exhaust is upgraded with our Hawks LS Conversion 1 7/8" Stainless Steel Headers, V-banded Y-pipe and our new 3.5 inch "Two Out The Left" stainless exhaust system.
No Firehawk is complete without those iconic Ronal R15 wheels. We equip every Continuation Build with a set of Hawks Redesigned 18x10 inch "R15" wheels with 285/35/18 tires all around.
Inside them you will find standard 1LE 4-wheel disc brakes that can also be upgraded to Baer "6P" calipers and 14 inch 2 piece rotors using our Competition Package.
ENGINE
The 6.2L LS3 has undergone the full Hawks Motorsports treatment receiving CNC ported cylinder heads and a custom ground Camshaft specific to the Continuation Series builds. The engine is fed by a custom dual air filter intake built in house at Hawks and into BTR Equalizer intake manifold and our (proprietary to this series) CNC machined billet aluminum upper lid resembling the "T-Ram" manifold found on the original SLP Firehawk's.
The net result is : a 7000RPM redline, 600 Horsepower and 500 LB/FT of Torque.
TRANSMISSION
Backing that LS3 package is a Tremec T-56 "Magnum-F" 6-speed transmission. Inside, the Magnum-F benefits from the same durable components found in many of today's hardest hitting OEM muscle & sports cars. On top of this serious transmission is our Hawks Billet CNC Short Throw Shifter for a precise and firm shift every time.
Rated for 700lb-ft of constant torque
REAR AXLE
At the back of this drivetrain package is a custom 8.8 Rear End assembly that is made in house at Hawks Motorsports. This rear axle housing features an OE ring and pinion, with little to no rear wheel loss, quiet gear operation and is one of the strongest rear end housings on the market.
