My defense of the Aurora stands, as it should and always will, but as comparable GM cars go, the Bonneville has always been one.

Dan, I forgive you, but I totally understand!

I just got the Aurora back today after my brother drove it all week and I was driving his bonneville and my mom'* bonneville. The Aurora is so classy coming down the road and the interior is beautiful.. But, getting back behind the wheel I wasn't having fun driving it so much. It'* a dog on the highway. With the A/C on even at 1/2 throttle I can barely even get it to speed up at all. I have to keep pressing the gas until it downshifts then it'll pick up. Supercharged cars really spoil you I think because once you have owned one (Riviera for me) you can't stand driving vehicles that are lacking that low end torque. I'm torn. I like the looks of the aurora better, but I like the supercharged 3800. hmm.. Maybe a 3800 swap should be done.

here'* some expensive stuff you can do for the shortstar though. Only mods I can find. :(

As far as I have been told, OHC engines are known for their top end, while pushrod motors usually have a nice fat bottom. Just what I've heard.
