The 3.0 does sound better than the 2.8 IMO with either standard or aftermarket exhaust system

Although the 2.8 still sounds great too

"The bumpers, black louvred grille and trims sections are in perfect order indicating that the urge to drive the car through a carefully placed wall of boxes has been avoided."

Hi Andy,
Nice save!
Did you add that later? I'm sure that comment wasn't there when I first read your post.

Not much gets past you.....
I was trying to say they sound quite different
and the 3.0 just has the edge over the 2.8 IMO (Which counts for nothing)....

As an obvious 2.8 lover, I do prefer the sound of a 3.0 but not lots in it.

Hi,
Looks nice in the photos, and the Capri really does look good in cobalt blue.

I must admit to me the 2.8i does sound good.
Just not as good as an essex
