I'm not too familiar with the 89's, but my brothers 92 Thunderbird supercoupe has something like that. His is an electronic ride control. I think his says Firm and Comfort. I may be way off on this though.

My 91 has one... when in Power mode the transmistion shifts higher... Example, with it on comfort I usualy shift at 4500-5000 RPMS (depending on how far I push the pedal), with it on Power it shifts at 6000-6100 RPM's givening you a much faster start, and also allows you to reach higher speeds than without... I've gotten mine up to 130MPH before I had to slow down.
