"In 1958 Bill Mitchell, GM's design chief said "What we want is a cross between a Ferrari and a Rolls" in 1963 the Buick Riviera was launched as GM's new personal luxury coupe."
Here is my 1996 Buick Riviera...one part muscle car, one part class, and one part sexy. :)
The series II 3.8l with my current mods (3.4" pulley, 3" DP/no cat, 180* t-stat, AL104,+ some other small things) is making around 285 hp and over 315lb ft of low end torque. some of my other mods include; KYB GR-2 front struts, strut tower brace, ractive exhaust tips, Infinity Kappa 52.7i 5 1/4, Alpine type S 6x9,Kenwood Head unit, 2 10" Kicker solo's and Memphis 2ch amp.
STB and chrome tips :D
Tinted sun roof, bright white diamond paint and chrome wheels all from factory! also equipped with great Michelin rubber and Bendix pads/rotors. I have added Silverstar headlights and Bosch Excel wipers which i highly recommend for better visibility/safety.
This is my daily driver, but i only put around 6,500 mile on her a year.
As you can see I keep my Riv in immaculate condition inside and out and everything is in fine working order.(she has 125,000 mi! and only gets the best) Some of the options include: Heated driver seat, Memory seats and mirrors, electro chromatic rear and side view mirror(auto tints the mirrors green when headlights hit them), & lumbar support w/6 way power seats to list a few.

my PB so far is 14.6@98 and 0-60 in 6.1s. 1/8mile in 9.5@79 and 0-90 was in 12.0s. (unfortunately it was pump gas and full street weight, so i could have shed 200lbs and added race fuel. better tires would help too) i estimate the car could run ~14.3 on a cold day with a good launch. and 0-60 in 5.9s
