Message	...japanese and american car manufactures, that says japan will not export cars to be sold in america in excess of 300HP. i think this was enacted to keep things fair for american carmakers, and could possibly explain why some Japanese equivelants of the same car, have more ponies than the american vesrions. the hp gain among jdm cars could also however, be dependant on several other variables aswell, ledded fuel, different emission standards, diff tuning..... this is just my guess anyway. It's not turbo lag, It's foreplay!
