If people want to pay lots of money in gas guzzler tax and subsidize the sales of more efficient vehicles, they should be able to do that.

In short, the hp war will last as long as the market will subsidize it. Once the cost of ownership (gasoline, purchase/lease cost, insurance, registration & taxes) of the high hp vehicles gets too high, then unit sales will drop and the manufacturers will invest their R&D $$ elsewhere they can make a profit.
