	Is the Porsche 928S the "most powerful" car in the US?

	If "power" = horsepower, then the answer is no:

		Lamborghini Countach S	325 hp
		Aston Martin Lagonda	325
		Aston Martin Vantage	300
		Maserati Quattroporte	288
		Jaguar XJ-S		262
		All Rolls Royce		260
		Porsche 928S		234

	It's true that some of these cars are hard to find in your
	average dealer's showroom, but they are legally obtainable.

	As far as top speed goes, the Porsche is near the top of the list,
	but the Countach (and maybe a couple of other cars, such as the
	Ferrari 512 Boxer absent from my list) are a little faster.

	If you were to ask, "What is the best sports car in the world?",
	the answer would most likely be the 928!
