i'm still under the belief that i have the "franken-alero"
its a GX with a V6. no special features of any kind, except the bigger engine.
i've never really compared my suspension to others (besides lowered ones) so i have no clue if i'm "sport" or not.
but i do have the "performance" tires. and redog was right... they blow...  ...big nasty chunks.

performance tires? what ones would those be? Anyway, factory tires on domestics suck 99% of the time.
And how sure are you that it's a GX? Sounds like a GL to me. GL can have pretty much every option. Base Alero, but because of the V6, it's a GL.

Yeah, my car came stock with Eagle RS-As. I could turn onto another road at like 10mph and they would squeal. My car (a GL2) came stock with 16" alloy wheels. If I'm not mistaken, the earlier year GLs and stuff came with 15" alloy wheels and in either 2001 or 2002, Olds went to 16" alloy wheels.

The easiest way to tell between the models is this. GX has hubcabs and no power windows, only offered with a 4 banger. GL, regardless of 1 2 or 3 has the actual wheels 15 or 16 depending, with power windows and so on. The V-6 is an option available on the GL. GLS come standard with the shiny wheels, v-6 and leather.
so if you have armstronged powered windows, you have a GX, if you have power windows and no leather, you have a GL, and if you have everything, you've got a GLS.

another thing i think i have noticed between the gx and i think gl2 and above models is the color of the mirrors, and the break away mirrors i believe, mine on my gl2 are painted silver with the car with break away mirrors, my friend who has a silver gs , his mirrors are black and not break away, but i might just being seeing things in the wrong way
