Capri is a 7 litre supercahrged V8. Runs only 1 bar of boost. Could sail into the 1500bhp range with 1.7 bar boost the owner was saying. Yanks running over 2000bhp with 2 bar.

Made nearly 700 lb/ft on the rollers!

When the capri opened up on the rollers the noise was awsome!! The vids dont do it justice! Me and rich had huge grins with just shock really when it kept lighting up the tyres on the rollers!

In fact huge grins were all round especialy with rods car aswell!! I personally have never seen a car come on boost so hard

Mark- Youl have an early evo your way soon and I want 809hp

I remember that Capri from the Mad Mile and the races he had with JB. The good old days!

Rod your car is awesome. Good luck with getting the "other" numbers.
