can anyone tell me if this is a real car? i dont think it is. i think its a ws6 that someone made to look like a firehawk lt4.

the wired thing is where all the rpo codes normally would be. they are blank with just the VIN number. it does have the slp alteration sticker on the drivers door. forgot to look on the passenger door.

the car has the wrong rims. its not numbered, its an auto which i thought none of the lt4 cars were. it does not have any options. but I have scene strange things so you never know. better safe than sorry.

VIN is 2G2FV22P5V2231634

the sad part is the man bought the car from a dealer thinking it was a firehawk lt4 for 12k a few years ago.

thanks dennis

Not one of the LT4 VINs that I have but it is in the correct range of numbers .

They were ALL 6 speeds from what I understand. Looks to be bogus.

The decals are easy to find, now...they're on eBay all the time.

No LT4's were automatics from SLP. It should have a decal in the right door that looks like this:

As of right now, this one is still difficult to get reproduced correctly. :wink:

All SLP options were standard with the LT4's, too.

Its not even a WS6, per GM's VIS.

Bogus car, all the way around. Might be a fun drag car, but basically worthless other than that.
