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. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |

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. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |

My 89 has a power lumbar support LOL 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. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |
