Comp T/A vs. Firehawk

Is there really a difference between the two?

The things I've noticed are... the Comp T/As came with BF Goodrich tires instead of Firestones, more limited production numbers on a Comp T/A, only available in 95-97, only available in silver exterior, only available in graphite interior, and they all have a WS6 hood.

Am I missing anything else? How about performance...are they equal to a Firehawk?

Comp T/A is a Sliver WS6 thats it.. One could say it's one of the rare models SLP built.

But market demmand in the future will show if it is a true collectable car.

As for difference between the 2 for the years, I would think you could get more options with the Firehawk's and I think the Hawks were all formulas during the Comp years.

No, only some of the '97 Camaro SSs and '97 Firehawks came with LT4s.

Firehawks were always Formula's until '99. (I believe that was the first year you could order it as a Formula or Trans Am.) The Comp TA's were Trans Am's, and few were made making them indeed rare birds. Both made (tweaked) by SLP.

There were a few LT1 pilot cars that were TA-based but generally they could only be ordered as Formulas.
