Welcome xener. The gearing on autobahn equipped Auroras is 3.71:1, while the non-autobahn is 3.11:1. This 17% torque multiplication advantage should account for ~.5 second better 0-60 and a few less miles to the gallon on the highway.

Non-autobahns are 3:48:1. You are thinking Cadillacs...  |

Pardon me, then. The difference in acceleration is even less in that case.

Xener, the performance gains with Autobahn aren't really to evident, its not like it has a turbo or a blower....however, it does have a higher gearing ratio (3.71 taken from the STS, as opposed to the 3.48 found on regular Auroras). The code QQX refers to V-rated Michelin tires. Its quiet possible your future car (if you get an Aurora) may not have the same V-rated tires (Michy Energy MXV4 Plus). Also the Autobahn package features a speed limiter of 140 mph instead of 108. I have also noticed non Autobahn Auroras have the chromed rims, where Autobahn has the alloy I have the 98 autobahn and it has chrome rims? I'm not sure that statement is correct unless the previous owner changed them. |

Wheels have nothing to do with it. Chrome wheels were an available option for purchase, Autobahn was an available option for purchase that came with v rated tires, you could also get heated seats, Bose stereo, disc changer, sunroof, block heater, or cloth seats.
To answer the original posters question a stock 97 Aurora will run about a 15.75 quarter mile time, with a 4.6, 14.74.
