i love the park aves.. but im a buick guy, i hope my next car will be an 03 PA ultra or a Regal GS... Those park aves are VERY nice, VERY smooth, and pretty damn quick. not quite as fast as the SSEis due to the added weight tho, its possible that it also has the 2.93 axle ratio compared to the SSEis 3.05

Great car, great frame ride like a barge tho get an 03-05 Park Avey with the Ultra package and you get great 3 ports, sweet 17inch rims, chrome tips and uhh the new Buick badge. Those actually look great I follow at opal white 04 to work somedays.

I just prefer my bonne'* above and beyond all other cars. My car rides and handles just as good, if not better, than other vehicles I've owned in past years or borrowed also.

That'* not true.

Only Series 2 L67'* mated to a 4T65E(HD) got the 2.93. The 96 SSEi with the Series 2 L67 mated to the 4T60E (HD) got a 2.97 like the 92-95'*.

we rented a 2000 PA ULtra when we went to ALASKA for vacation . put over 8000 miles on it. my wife fell in love with that car , so when we got back to CALIF. we started looking for a car with the L67 engine , PA ,SSEi , hey my wife likes (loves) the POWER. GO FOR IT. if the car is in good shape, buy it. you can mod the engine just like we do and you will be hooked (I NEED TO GO FASTER).

And the only Series I Supercharged 3800'* that got the 2.93 ratio was the 1995 Riviera -the Bonneville, LSS, 98 Touring Sedan, and Park Avenue Ultra with the Series I 3800 Supercharged came with the 2.97 Ratio (F79 I believe -FR2 is 2.93 or vice-versa).
