I just picked up a mint 95 supercharged riviera for my 16 year old daughter. I had to put a motor in it due to spun rod bearings. What can be done to pep it up. Can one make this car semi fast???
 
I have a 95 s/c riv. Its pretty peppy stock. Make sure theres premium in it, always or it will definatley knock. Dont forget to change the supercharger oil too if you have not done so. I bought mine with 60k and did it as soon as i bought it just for p/m As far as performance wise. You could order a smaller pulley, change the stat, and plugs, and possibly have the PCM flashed. Check out rivperformance.com. Theres alot of helpful advise there. I found a smaller pulley for mine at the junkyard. Went from 7-8lbs. To 12lbs with a home made cold air kit and that pulley. Running premium and no audible knock heard. Car pulls really good. Although take it easy, as you probably already know, that trans doesnt like to much thrown at it. Just my 2 cents. Good luck and have fun.
 
Leave it stock or her boyfriends will drive the crap outta it:p
 
kirban 2 cents worth

At 16 just starting to drive a supercharged Riv is a nice comfortable ride when decent low end pick up and passing with the supercharger.

I have a super mint 1997 model only real difference slightly better suspension and quieter than older 3800 motor.

Above advice is rite most owner forget about changing fluid in supercharger.

Motors are bullet proof....
