My late model wanna-be "Pro Tourer"
I wish I had a "real" Pro Touring car to display but I don't. What I do have is a 1995 Trans Am Firehawk which I'm slowly trying to emulate as a Pro Touring car.
I just added a set of AR Dale Earnhardt Jr. "Killer" wheels (18" x 8.5") shod with a set of Yokohama 245/40/18 tires. I put a Baer GT+ front brake kit on w/ 2 piece rotors and matching rear Decel-A-Rotors in the rear. And lastly a Corsa cat back exhaust to give it a bit more oomph and some growl.
Check out the pictures and tell me what you think. Tonight, May 1st was the first time for the 'Hawk to be on the road this year with the aftermentioned parts installed.

considering I have a 96 WS6 formula, I'm going to have to go with damn nice looking. Corsa sounds fantastic behind LT1 cars. Don't be afraid to throw some headers and a y pipe on that thing. It won't be too loud until you put your foot into it. Car looks great.

Looks good! However, FYI the Firehawk package was not offered on Trans Ams until 99. Any TA modified by SLP in the LT1 years would be a 95-97 Comp T/A hardtop or t-top, or one of 4ish t-top prototypes. None were verts. Still through looks good!

The car looks real sharp. Whether you made it a Firehawk doen't matter, you made it look factory and very clean. Good job.
