This has been blown out of the water by some of the other car companies so expect Honda/Acura to blow them out of the water.

thats the japanise gentalmens agreement. 280ps(276hp) was the power limit. problem was... honda built the motors to make that power, mitsu, toyota, and nissan built motors to run 450hp safly but restricted them to a claimed 280ps. honda makes good engines, but untill the turbocharge somehting and keep the weight down on their powerful cars(they are kinda hefty) i dont see them making a huge impression on real high performance
oh in america... that agreement went out the window. supras are 320, the 3000gt vr4's are above 300, rotorys held at 280ish i believe, but honda designed a motor for 280, and it stayed there for a while.
