If the modern horsepower wars end, it will be because the manufacturer is no longer able to justify making them, not because the government "brings down the hammer". Contrary to popular belief, the horsepower wars of the '60's/'70's did not end because the government mandated that they stop making high-horsepower vehicles, it ended because fuel prices went so high nobody was looking at buying them. Instead, people began looking for more fuel efficient options.
