I noticed this too.  The wife's old 89 100 Wagon had all new rubber and 
suspension from the frame mounts up and it was very crisp and light on 
it's feet... errr tires....

The 90 V8 is very stiff and slow until you hit 80+ then it's perfect.

The 91 V8 has servotronic which makes it seem like it's light on it's
feet... err tires again....
