first ride in an aurora
my roommate brought home his 97 maroon aurora tonight
almost made me fall out of love with my bonneville...
interior is ******* amazing.. pics dont do it justice.. seats were like pillows
no comparison with power though... i would smoke it
weird going that fast with no whine!
*back in love with bonneville

Power distribution is all different with the DOHC engine....off the line a modified Series II L67 will quickly lay waste to the 4.0. However it not meant to be gruntish off the line, its got smooth evenly distributed power.
I find my 4.0 is more of a pleasure to drive then the 3800, its quieter, the tranmission shifts nicer. Its a lux car thru and thru.
At the end of the day, I'm pretty lucky to have both powerplants.
Keep enjoying your Bonneville there Andrew
Oh Jerry, if the weather is nice, we'll bust er out.

Heh...yea, prolly on crappy tires. My summer tires are 40% slicks, they dont spin...period. Mike (sse1990) tried back in Sept...but couldnt.
Does the car have Autobahn? 140mph limiter, 3.71:1 gearing, V rated tires
PS...those are aftermarket chromes...SSEi swoopies look better :P
