My Firehawk was ordered on 29 Jan 02, Built by GM and VIN'd on Wed, 13 Feb, arrived @ SLP on 16 Feb, Upfitted by SLP on 5 Mar, and delivered to me on Fri, 22 Mar 02.
)
I don't think I've touched 160 in this one yet.
)
It is rated at 345hp, 346ci, 350tq, and has the LS6 block from the factory.
)
Many people tell me that Firehawks are not built as convertibles, so mine must be a fake, and that the previous owner lied to me - sometimes I point out that not only am I the original owner, but I also ordered it and it was built with my name on the build sheet. Sometimes I don't bother.

I'll try to find some pictures.

I just ran across this web pic of my Hawk from 2 months after build. This is the end of the Spring Cruise '02 on May 4th. It hasn't been washed yet here because my Zaino order had not yet arrived. Thanks to DooD for the pic. Temporary tags still adorn my Hawk in the pic below right - it was months later when I finally got my plates. In the pic below left I am the second farthest car, and this is about a half hour into the Cruise. These 2 pics are from earlier in the day. Thanks to the other participants for taking all these cool photos. 
)
The next 8 shots are from 4 months after build, finally have Zaino on, as well as my new plates. Many thanks to Brett and Kristen for taking these pics for me.

This pic on the left is where I'm trying to get a nice upper angle of perspective. It's not too shiny because it's been over 12 months since it's been polished here. 
On the right, this pic somewhat shows the ride stance of the Bilstein Ultra-Performance Suspension option for the '02 Firehawks. My Hawk is unmoddified, this is as it was delivered by the dealer (OK, I added seatcovers).
)
On the right I'm parked at the Firehawk Rally '03 in Norwalk, OH. Thanks to DraganHawk for taking the pic.

Alright, I'm not impressed much with appearance mods. However, I decided I wanted to try one, a very mild, simple, minor one. Is it obvious what it is? I like it, so far. Feel free to ignore the dirtiness.
Another dirty pic, the Hawk is hunkered down on the last day of the original tires, the Firestone Firehawk 275/40R17 SZ50s with 41k on them. I think I had just finished running the majority of the Spring Cruise route, feeling and enjoying the tires one last time, 2 days before the official Spring Cruise '04, when the new 285 size of the same tire will be on. Although I think the 285s look better and more befitting, I'll be going back to the 275s if possible next set.
)
THE COW appears startled by the crouching Hawk. When F-bodies want to meet up around Janesville, THE COW is a common location to gather. At left the Hawk is awaiting a full day of fun driving on the Fall Cruise '05. Thanks to Madison Dave for taking this pic, it was apparently the first pic he took of that day. Below is a pic taken at the Orchard by another participant, about 2-3 hours later. Because the cruise route can be challenging, motion shots are less common. At lower left is a motion shot of me, this perspective is commony known as the "Mustang View", or the view observed by non-F-body drivers. 
Photographers seem to like taking pics of the front end of my Hawk, which usually means when it is stopped, such as the image at right.
