A supercharger would be fun, as well as the ECC and the HUD, but not neccessary for me.
I think the major "differences" between the NA'* and the "Whiners" is generally just well meaning sibling rivalry. We're all one big family, and we like to pick on one another occasionally. Some folks just ain't as good as getting across the point that they're just kidding around as others.
I believe I was the first person to use the "Stop the Supercharger Oppression" sig, and at that time everyone new it was a joke. But, as with all groups, the larger the audience, the easier it is to be misunderstood.

i think the only diff between the se,sle and the ssei is the cost of fuel and insurance.
yes it makes a lil more power, if if you not looking to run a drag strip or anything like that then the 3.8 na make more then enough power for a full size car.
my 93 sle i had would amaze ppl with the power that car had.

I have only owned SSEi'* myself. But i can tell you, an SE Bonneville, is simply, still a Bonneville, you see one on the road and you know its a Bonneville, it has the look. You know, the SE used to be the optioned out model, much like an SSE.
1987 You had your Bonneville Standard, LE, SE.
I would drive one and not be embarrassed at all, nice cars.

Wow what an overwhelming reply to a question. You guys are all right. A Bonneville is simply a Bonneville. The NA car is ideal for the people who want to have one car for a long time and a SC is for those who have the need to continously replace the car. And yeah my car looks very nice dirty or gleaming.
Even today, I'm still amazed by how strong the L36 is especially in a 2.5 ton car (just estimating the weight) I don't know why Motor Trend complains of its outdated technology and its roughness. Dude, it'* fast. I am incredibly proud of it. I'm going to do the intake, exhaust (cat and muffler) and replace that pesky U-bend. and maybe add a silver trim kit inside.
Endlinks are like the tie-rods right? I'm not real familiar with those. I better consult the TechInfo.
