For some reason, (it may not be) your thread title seems offensive. Or it may be to others.

^Leave him alone he is from New Zealand

The agreement you're talking about is a gentleman's agreement. Not a law.

It's not a law. It's a gentlemen's agreement between Japanese car companies not to advertise over 280PS. IIRC, Honda first broke the agreement by advertising their Legend (RL) at 300PS.

It wasn't an agreement to keep the cars limited to 280PS, but an agreement not to ADVERTISE over 280PS.
