Well since japenese cars can't make more than 290hp, I dont think Japanese cars will match american cars when it comes to stock HP #'s, luckily they(manufacturers) make it easy(with turbo's) to make a crap load of power after you buy the car.

they can, but they just imposed themselves a limit. a while back it was 260 hp for the N/A cars, now it's 290. I think there is a lexus with a lot of hp, not sure which, and the IS 400 is supposed to have more than 300 hp when it comes to showrooms.
