17. 1995 Pontiac SLP Formula Firehawk
The SLP Firehawks were interesting late muscle cars. When the model first appeared in 1995, it marked the start of a successful venture between GM and the Street Legal Performance Company of New Jersey. This was an outside firm that produced performance kits for Firebirds, but the cars weren’t just improved base models, they were much more.
The SLP Formula Firehawk had a 5.7-liter V8 engine with 300 or 315 HP, which was a high number for 1995. The six-speed manual version could accelerate from 0 to 60 in 4.9 seconds, making it one of the fastest production cars in America. The package cost $6,500 over the price of the regular Trans Am. It included numerous upgrades and a Ram Air hood, so it was well worth it.
