Find me the US law that states for a vehicle to be street legal it has to be under 400 hp. Besides ignoring the muscle car era where high-compression V8s with more liters than coke bottles in a fridge were commonly trying to plant 300-500 hp through bias-ply tires...
How come the Shelby GT500 is a 500+ HP car? What about the 505 HP Z06, or the 650 HP ZR1? What about the 550 HP Cadillac CTS V, or the 420 HP Camaro SS? What about the 640 hp LP640? The 600 hp Zonda? ****, the 1001 HP Veyron? The 4 20hp SRT8s? 500 hp Benz's. The 435 G8 GXP. The near 400 HP Evo 10 (in it's wildest trim). 600-700 HP Bently?
These are all factory cars with over 500 hp. There is no limit on horse power in the US. This is not the UK where custom built cars have to be approved by the transit authority. The US is the home of the "door slammers" class in drag racing where a car can have as much power as it wants as long as it can plant it on a certain size tire and still be able to pass inspection. NRE is a common producer of streetable 2000 hp twin turbo V8 classics. Not to mention the array of street legal Supras with 4 digit horse power numbers.
Before your fresh noob *** opens your mouth, go get your facts straight, mkay.
And none of this cop-out 'lets agree to disagree', as there are facts and ignorant lies. The latter needing to be debated.

Hahahaha +1 Tex! That kid has no idea on what he is talking about.
I'll also bring in some stuff also, back and I mean waaaaay back. Like say the golden ages of the muscle cars, with the 10.5:1 / 11:1 compression ratios, those old big block chevs', rust bucket fords, and track slaughtering mopars, rolling the streets some of those had 400+ hp STOCK from the factory. They ran on LEADED fuel, on which my father used to chew on when he was in his crib as a baby!(Lead based paint that is!)
GET YOUR FACTS AND LEARN CARS!
