Actualy, there is a big story that goes along with the Shortstar, as wella s the 4.0 Aurora V8, 3.4 DOHC motor and 2.3/2.4 Quad 4 engines.
Ill sum it up in that Olds fronted all that money to make develop and build all these engine programs, having a verbal agreement with the other GM divisions that they would help pay for production after the engine was ready and tested. Well, Olds brought them out, and the rest of GM said "no thanks" and it basicly killed Olds and put it under.
Its sad, because now all the divisions are fighting for the new 3.6 V6 engine, GM's new hi-tech DOHC engine.
