Horsepower limit in Canada?

[Street Fighter]

What is the exact limit to how much horsepower you can have on a Canadian or US road?

 

[Slicks]

None, that I know of. But I'm probably wrong.

 

[ving]

not allowed to have any horse power?
WTF!!!

 

[Street Fighter]

As long as it is emissions legal.

Shouldn't this be in a different forum? Anyway, I don't know the answer.

Not sure about canada since I don't go back there any more.

But, in the US...
The state has the right to establish hp limits. (in my opinion that is a proper state's right.)

With a state deciding the limit, each state can deal with their own situation... I doubt new york wants 800hp monsters running the capital, but in utah... with the salt flats... big hp is probably a good thing.

So I would say there each individual state of the US gets to establish limits.

edit:
btw, Im not sure about this, so you may want to go to the federal government site as well as any random state dmv site.

I dont' think it's a HP limit, but rather, a speed limit

don't know where I read/heard this from, but then the computer chips in the cars don't allow the car to travel over 200km/h or something like that....
