It’s really a darn shame about the 1990s version of the Cadillac Northstar V8. This was a power plant that had the makings of an all-time great, a two-time Wards 10 Best Engines winner, a 300-horsepower monster, back when 190 hp was more than enough to qualify as a performance model. Unfortunately, a handful of fatal flaws made total engine failure almost inevitable.
