did the 86.5's come with 288HP or 316HP?
and did the 5 speed and the automatic have the same HP rating?
i found one reference that states they added the brakes and it had 288HP after VIN "1000" and i found another reference that says it had big brakes and 316HP after
VIN "1000"...??
and did the 5 speed and the automatic have the same HP rating?

The 86.5 was an MY 86 with a VIN greater than 1000 (approximately)....these late 86's came with full S4 suspension and brakes and ABS..... The 5.0L 32V is rated at 288hp 302 ftlbs of torque...same as the MY 85.... The biggest difference between the 85-86 5.0L motor compared to the S4+ motor is the two stage intake on the S4 and the upgraded computers with knock sensors.... The S4 also has milder cams, but larger valves....
With new chips there is quite a nice bump in HP on the 85-86's...however since there is no knock sensors you need to be careful too....

Stop it!
I started down the Craigslist/Ebay trail for an 86.5+ many moons and dollars ago.
And, of course, I don't consider the 81' or, the Weissach to be banjo playing, retarded
928 hill-kin. But I sure do want one before the 250,000 mile crosses the odometer of the
lowest milage example on the planet.
So when did we drop the 1200 vin (approx) as the start of the 85.6's ??????????
Someday ....

86.5 is literally the foundation for the S4.
revised ABS
new floor pan
third brake light
true dual exhaust
smaller battery/box
new front suspension
delayed interior lights
revised rear suspension
4-piston calipers, larger rotors
additional front brake cooling air dam
windows work w/key off until door is opened
+ more

I am confused as to what "true" duel exhaust is. My MY 85' has factory exhaust which is one pipe for each exhaust header. In other words 2 pipes 2 seperate cats 2 pipes to 1 intermediate, mid muffler, then 2 pipes to 1 "pumpkin" rear exhaust W/ 2 outlets at the end of the 'pumpkin"
I did cut off the rear "pumpkin" exhaust and made my own RBM.
