Message	La-Z-Link "Since 1989, Japanese automakers have all endorsed—at least on paper—a kind of gentlemen's agreement that limited their advertised horsepower to 276 on domestically produced vehicles. Their primary goal was to avoid a horsepower war in a country where the maximum speed limit is 62 mph." I suspect that, at least for a while, everybody and their grandmas didn't know about it, and it may have kept some order for a while. Then the truth leaked out and the agreement became pointless and Acura/Honda finally had the guts to get over it. Maybe, maybe not; just a guess.
