I'm still trying to get an explantation of this post from RichA:

"Avoid anything V8, pre-1999 with an auto trans."

He's not responded to my requests for information, does he know
something or is he just talking to hear his head rattle? ;-)

Thanks, I'll continue my search. I'm looking a 86-93 because of price
and I prefer the body style to the later Mustangs.

Gotta be auto, convertible and I'd prefer a V8 although I do recall a
Thunderburp with a V6 and it moved pretty well.... I'm not going to be
drag racing any Vipers.

I had an 88 notch 5.0 manual and a 90 vert LX 5.0 auto. The manual
was a lot snappier. The 90 was fine for driving around and looked
good. I have heard that the 88 were the most powerful even though the
spec book shows them all the same. In the 88 I had to take the seat
backs out, pull the upholstery and foam off and slip a piece of thin
plywood inside teh seat shell to return a decent level of back
support. Don't recall if I had to do that on the 90. But if you do
get one and want to massage the seat back they are easy to take apart.
Almost everything about them is easy to work on except the heater
core.

Thanks for the information, I do need back support so I'll probably be
doing as you describe.

That would have been the Super Coupe. It was a blown V6, there was
also a turbo charged IL4 similar to the SVO Mustang.

I know '89 and later have that but I'm not sure when it started or if
it was on only certain models?

My Miata has a very simple lumbar support system, the seat back
cushions are attached at the top and bottem only, it's simple to fold a
handtowel and slide it into postition and it's equally easy to remove
it or refold it for more or less lumbar support. It would be equally
easy to slide in an air bladder.

I'm sure Mazda didn't intend it that way but it's simple, cheap and
easy.
