Welcome!

So you like Rivieras? So do we. Glad you found us! There's something about this car that demands attention, don't you agree?

It's hard to put your finger on, but whether it's performance, style, luxury, rarity, marque, or history, the Riviera is one of those cars that stirs passion and captures interest. Maybe it's the unique details that you just don't see on cars nowadays. Maybe it's the sleek shape. Maybe you secretly enjoy when other people stop and look at the car, even say "Wow!" Ever been mistaken for a Jag or a Rolls? So have we.

The Riviera by Buick has always been a car that exudes class, yet it doesn't go over the top with unneeded adornments or impractical features. It's interior is simple, the seats are comfortable, and the build quality is respectable. The Riviera also has a powerful street presence, with unmistakable style and performance to back it up.

Riviera Performance is the place for folks who really love Rivieras. Whether you enjoy driving, tinkering, modifying, or just learning more about cars, you've come to the right place. Our goal is to compile and organize information about these cars in an effort to help our fellow members build, repair, and modify for better performance. And it's not all about making tire smoke and going fast. Performance can qualify as anything that makes the car better, or maintains what it already does well. We also invite any car-related discussion; we'd like to see your Riviera if you have one. Post up pictures in our Showroom!

Most of our knowledge pertains to the late model Riviera with 3.8L supercharged V-6, but we're looking to grow. If you own a classic Riviera, or one from any year, we'd like to meet you. Anyone with an interest in these cars is welcome to join and post in our forums. Together, we aim to become the ultimate Riviera resource!

Please post a new topic in the Welcome! section to introduce yourself, and post some pics of your ride in the Showroom if you like. If you haven't already, please visit the board's FAQ page. A quick read should answer some common questions. If you have any other board-related concerns, please post them in the Board News forum.

Thanks for visiting. We look forward to meeting you!
