Autobahn package???

[RobertHammen]

Nope, they're not original. You either got Michelin MXV4's if you had the Autobahn package, or Goodyear Eagle GA's if you didn't. Just because you have V-rated tires, doesn't 100% mean you have the Autobahn package, though it's highly likely. Suggest you look at the RPO build sheet in the trunk for option "QQX".

dred, less than half of original Auroras came with the autobahn package.

QQX is the build code for the V rated tires, FV4 is the code for the Autobahn transaxle ratio, although I don't think you see one without the other.
How much did the autobahn option cost on a new Aurora ?

I'm just going by the option code list on Zincster's (dormant) Aurora site at

http://members.fortunecity.com/zincs...ifications.htm

Per that, the Autobahn option was $395.

The second gen Aurora came stock with the 3.71, but has a speed limiter.

At least that is what I understand, the Zincster site is for Classic Auroras only

I checked, yes, I have the QQX code. Sure alot of them on that tag. Anywho, When replacement tirescom into play, I think I will stick with the Pirellis. This is a really nice/cool/neat/whatever car. Hope it stays that way for awhile. It's been awhile since I had a car that I want to baby (for awhile anyway), should I blow it out once in awhile? I mainly do a combo of city/hiway miles. 100 a day. Any advice on how to keep the insides clean is appreciated.

What's the speed limiter set at on the non-classic Auroras ?
I'd guess it was the 140, is it ?

By the way Jim, shouldn't you be changing your screen name ?

[RoraStar96]

Something tells me its 128mph (H-rated tires), no facts just a gut feeling.

Ya, I guess I have to change that 96 to a 97... :P

I don't have the "z" rated tires -- so tonight I decided to go for it and see what mph I could reach and I got to 125 (before I hit construction and got scared) --- Is that good enough to ASSume that I have the autobahn package? From the threads I THINK the cut off is 110?
