I bought a used '86 Capri 5.0. From the factory, it came with 2.73 gears, EFI, and those god-awful E6 heads. Yes, those are different than the heads used in '87-up. The hp rating was 200hp. The car weighed 3200 lbs.

I don't have any strip numbers in stock trim, however, when I bought it, I went to the track and baselined it. At that point, the previous owner had removed the cats, installed 3-chamber Flowmasters, and a 3.73 gear. On Kelly radials, the car went 14.81 @ 94.53 mph.

Incidentally, I installed a shifter and 235/60/15 BFG drag radials, and the car ran a 14.4 @ 95.4 mph. Traction helps.
