The autobahn was a different gear ratio transmission (3.71 instead of 3.48) and was one of only 5 options available for the Aurora. The Autobahn package included Michelin MXV4 tires. The option code was "QQX" but I have no idea where it might be found in or on the car. As far as I know the only way to find out if you have this option is to either have the original window sticker, or tear open the transmission. There are no outwardly obvious visual differences you can see under the hood, and, according to the GM guys I talked to, no digit or letter of the VIN that represents the elusive Autobahn feature. If anyone knows different do tell.
  My window sticker for my 95 indicates i have the option but I've never seen any other proof. I still run the Michelins on it.

dano,
 
The QQX RPO code for Autobahn option can be found on the Service Parts Identification (SPI) label. For '95s that label was affixed to one of the rear fender wells inside the trunk. For '97 to '99s it was glued to the bottom of the cover over the spare tire. I do not remember which location for '96s.
 
You are correct that Autobahn is not identified in the VIN.
 
There are at least two other ways to determine Autobahn vs. non-Autobahn. The tire lable on the rear side of the driver's door shows the speed rating -- V for Autobahn and S for non-Autobahn. If the tire label is missing or illegible and the car has the original size tires (235/60-16), find a flat stretch of highway where you can maintain a constant speed with the transaxle in fourth gear and the torque converter locked up. At 2000 RPM, Autobahn speed will be 62 MPH while non-Autobahn speed will be 66 MPH. This is not as easy to do as it may seem because of traffic and hills.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Les

Thanks Dano, I have it parked for the winter right now, but when i get the change i will check it. i dont believe i hear or feel any click. And yes it is very sad and it sucks having people give you funny looks when you have to pop your trunk to fill up.

96 Aurora: First ECC controls quit working. Then over night I lost Instrument gauges, driver information center, remote functions, auto door LOCKS (both doors). Car runs and all lights work, radio, and cd player work. Have not found any bad related fuses.;

take a ohm tester and checkthe power back to the fuel pump.it should be 12vts. if no power you should check the fuse and power wires, also make sure you have good ground. please let me know how you make out. ty

Christiano:
Hello. Might be able to help your search. I am the ORIGINAL OWNER of INDY-version AURORA, complete fully operational vehicle. Full maintenance records, immaculate condition...this is the INDY Series V8 32-valve DOHC race engine in vehicle. Please review feedback on Edmunds regarding this model & engine performance as posted, they are accurate, true...this is a vehicle in high demand for those familiar w/ specifications as noted on Edmunds.
Has NOTHING to do w/ Shelby!!
Might be willing to sell ENTIRE VEHICLE (best option I would suggest to you).
Regards,
 
Vito
