The Dif between 87 and 86?

In addition, the '87 cars went up to 214 hp and 195 foot pounds of torque. Porsche rated the '86 cars at 200 hp and 185 ft lbs. There has been debate over the years as to if the '84 to '86 cars were really only 200 hp and might have been underated...
For US model cars, 1987 finally brought an update of the headlights to the H5 style headlights which resembled the H4 headlights used in Europe. 1986 cars used the so called "sugar scoops" for headlamp trim rings (in use since '74?) which surrounded regular sealed beam headlamps.
The rear "Porsche" reflector assembly was changed for 1987. I believe it was changed to integrate rear fog lamps in ROW cars.
The 3rd brake light was moved down to the base of the rear window for 1987.
Man, I can't think of anything else...!

You could also swap in a '87-'89 stock chip and get the 'factory upgraded chip' ...there's plenty around (thanks to SW).
