they actually have 330 HP, I believe, or 340, somewhere around there. All cars in Japan are supposed to be said they have 280 HP at most. I don't understand it. Maybe Takashi can elaborate more.

It's a gentlemen's agreement with the government for "safety" reasons.

Japanese government restrictions to compliance of maximum 280ps output of all commercial sale vehicles. Which of course means, they have a super restrictive exhaust system on most high performance cars ... Once that's gone, it's real power time. And then, the government and Police won't or can't do anything to stop you at any given time or day because they're quite pussies ... MuHaHaHaHa! <Evil Laugh>
