We had an Oldsmobile Delta 88. It was an '87 IIRC. Had the 3.8L? transverse V-6. Anyway, my wife was driving when the belt broke, car came to a rather quick stop, as in she didn't have enough momentum to coast off the road. When I pulled the heads, I found a bunch of bent valve stems.
So yeah, GM was guilty too.
