What's the difference? You judge a car's performance by speed and handling, right? How can you reach faster speed? Better gearing and HP, right? So why is a HP war is dumb but a performance war is not?

If manufacturers aren't trying to one up each other in HP, we probably won't be @ the level we are today. W/out Nissan claiming 240HP on the Altima, the accord probably is contempt w/ 220 or something. HP war is only good for us. Why would you be complaining that your car gets more power? I don't get it?
