Special Stock Aleros?
Obviously the OSV was never made and we know the final 500's, but were there any Alero's that were produced with any specialty packages in terms of mass production that either altered the appearance or driving characteristics of the car?
The only reason I ask is because the Intrigue had both the "Autobahn" package that gave it a different final drive ratio, bigger stock brakes, stiffened suspension, and a higher speed limiter with higher speed rated tires. To my knowledge, the Intrigue also had a "Precision Sport Package" which was pretty much the Autobahn package along with stability control.
It also seems the Aurora had this Autobahn package at least for its first generation.
Did the alero have anything interesting or not really beyond the FE3 suspension?

that is the exact one I was talking about...if I would have know of issues that were to come, and I had the money I would have went for it, it was a pretty good looking car at a decent price...did they sell it before she could get it or were there problems with it

I could put a V8 emblem on mine but that don't mean she has a v8 lol. I could also call myself "pjw" too. SLS sounds like an emblem off a jimmy/ blazer 90s pickup

The razzi was aftermarket addition. Now I recall seeing a brand new 04 alero silver coupe when I was looking back in october 2004 that the dealer put aftermarket wheels, full razzi kit, with eibach lowering springs iirc. I liked it but that shiny Final 500 sitting in the showroom was even nicer!

The razzi kit was a dealer add on.

EDIT: probably not dealership equipped because it has stock front bumper either that or previously wrecked...still nice car though
