I drove it to I thought I did amazing for only driving stick for the 3rd time and with a 5.0 I think I could get the feel for a stick real fast......... didn't clunk er out but a accidental burner in reverse cause its so touchy had a slight problem going from 4th to 5th the 1st time going though all gears..... I am addicted to RWD v-8 sticks now

87 had 225hp stock...the 86 was only at 200hp...the heads were more restrictive.
I believe for that body style....87 had the better horsepower.
I had an 87 and a 89 and the 87 was quicker.
My 86 capri was actually quicker then them both...but it had the mods.
