Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
But weren't the chrome wheels not offered until '96?

I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.
You know Jeff, I was thinking the same thing. In fact, I wasn't even aware that style Firehawk wheel was ever available in chrome. I ran the cars RPO's and it should have the standard aluminum version, so somebody upgraded the wheels at some point.

I think (could be wrong) that chrome Speedlines were only available in 96-97...and I haven't seen many of them...rare option if it's right...

I looked it up in the dealer books I have, the chrome Speedline wheels were available in '95. I found a bulletin for '96 stating that PO5 (chrome wheels) were not going to be available.
I agree one of them rare fbodys for a future collector, kinda neet to see

Found this on the Firehawk registry, FWIW:
SLP orignal offered chrome Speedline wheels as a option 1995, but never delivered any. SLP moved to American Racing Equipment rims in 1996 and started delivering the chrome option.
I've seen those Firehawks on the road before, but what exactly is that? Is it a special performance/appearance package? Here's one I saw last year:

Yep, pretty much...in the later years they got a 10 hp bump over a standard WS6 T/A through a different intake, and there were a few unique options that SLP would install on them not available to T/As or Formulas (i.e. Auburn rear differential, Bilstein suspension)...but if you were very, very savvy (and had deep pockets), in the first years (91-92) you could have ordered an aluminum 383 that was rated at 375 hp...
But I believe only 3 people were so savvy with deep pockets...

Well that kinda makes sense, when I was looking thru my info and saw the chrome Speedline I couldn't recall ever seeing that wheel on a Firehawk (of course though, I haven't seen them all). The chrome wheel in '96 must've been a mid-year/late production item based on this note they weren't intially available..............
