The Aurora will have white diamond metallic paint with black and gold
highlights (sounds like the performance colors of about 28 yrs. ago) with
Indy 500 graphics. A power sunroof, 3.71:1 transaxle ratio (included with
the Aurora's optional Autobahn package), chrome plated aluminum alloy wheels
and Goodyear Eagle P235/60R16 tires rated for sustained 150 mph speed. The
non-stock items that will be installed are those mandated by USAC which
include a roll bar and a five-point safety harness for the driver and
passenger.
