@watso64 of course it's not going to be very fast, it's still impressive that it can accelerate like that with 250 hp 260 lb-ft of torque, while weighing just under 5000 lbs. That's fucking impressive in my book

no if you want slow then go watch a chevy aveo

Solid car, love the engine noise :)

@punchmaster123 that's not even a little true...

Aurora is a mark viii knock off...

Your car should be able to get up to a much higher speed faster. Mine is bone stock and hits 130 pretty quick. But you don't get much for gas mileage at that speed lol

I own from new a '98 Aurora,special ordered by me because of the FE3 "Autobahn Package" which consists of V-rated Michelin Pilot tires,EEC programmed for 139MPH top end,and 3.71:1 final drive instead of 3.48:1.Performance and fuel economy are very good as are the ride,handling,comfort and quietness to enjoy the Bose Acoustimass stereo.My only gripe is too little low end torque for quick takeoff in city traffic,but on the road it grabs hard for that 139MPH!Aurora ruled the IRL,was never beaten!!

@UABBlazers87 I`ve known that since about 4 months after I posted that comment, but thanks for the imput :)

More features would be the SS badge on the body panels, the body would be lowered 2 inches all around, with 3 inch wider wheels and tires front and rear. The Wheels would be 20 inches in diameter with optional finishes (Chrome, Matte, "color matching," black, etc). Let me know what you all think about what I just described about an aurora that may never exist.

I drive an '03 Aurora 4.0 and I feel that there are only 2 fails with this car. The single exhaust pipe with Y-pipe running under the car and the 4-speed transmission. Hear me out on this. Everyone knows the 3.5L V6 and 4.0L V8. How about the Aurora SS? The engine would be a turbocharged 4.0L Northstar V8 pushing 400hp and 450 lb-ft of torque (15 psi of boost on the turbo) with an optional 5-speed manuel transmission and magnaflow exhaust running from the headers to the mufflers. (NEXT COMMENT)

@insanityawakens The Aurora weighs under 4k pounds. Doesn't change your point, just saying...

[victoriadish]

Not bad but a better choice would've been a 4.6 or 4.9 maybe even an L67 since it produces more torque than the 4.0
