i remember when i was in high school, i wanted one of these soo bad! this guy in my neighborhood had one, and i was in love with it.
bro I also wanted one in high-school super badly. haha probably good I didn’t get one
Those back seats were very comfortable
the northstar v8 is one of the most smoothest engines and beautiful sounding v8s ever… when they work tho lol
Get some proper head studs and swap the water pump from a 5.3 and you’re good to go
My favorite part of the Northstar experience is how it intuitively helps with passing slower traffic by gently (but assertively) guiding the car into the oncoming lane when flooring the accelerator.
Man now how am I gonna stump GM fans with my obscure engine trivia?
My buddy’s father in HS bought one new, it looked like a Ford Taurus but went like a Dodge Stealth
Gm baby best of all worlds
I remember when these came out. It was bold but unfortunately the reviews weren’t great and it had reliability problems. Didn’t sell very well.
My grandparents had one of these it was actually a very dwcent car for the time. If it hadn’t been for Oldsmobile going out of production, their car would probably still be on the road today
The water pump seized up on my sisters 4.0 aurora.
Had to change it on the side of the highway, still have the expensive “special socket”, never used it again since.
Hers had gold exterior trim and the neighbor kids kept stealing the 4.0 and aurora badges off it and the dealer kept ordering us chrome pieces every time I went in to get replacements.
It was a great car for her but I hated that car. 👍
Those Northstar engines were stupidly notorious for cooling issues
You sell arouras now. This is where this was all heading 15 years ago
At first the 4.0 dhoc 32 valve stamp on the valve cover registered in my brain as “alcoholic 32 valve” for some reason 😂
I’m surprised he didn’t mention how many Indy cars ran the aurora v8
Did these have head bolt problems like the Northstar too?
I thought that was the coolest car when it came out
Ey did use a typical gm engine its a Northstar not auroras version that is a caddilac northstar
The Northstar/Aurora engine could have been a world beater if GM didn’t cheap out on things like inferior head bolts.
Still an all-time favorite car for me
…and features
Craziest thing! I was driving through town Monday on the phone with my buddy when I told him, “I just seen a car at the relight and I cannot even identify what brand it is” THIS IS IT!!!
i love the look of this car and the vibe
