They will need to put a cap on the power and use suspension components and weight to make the difference.

I highly doubt in the automotive industry something like the "gentlemen's agreement" will ever happen. But I do agree that cars will reach a point where Horsepower will start to slow down with more focus on a lighter car overall with more nimble handling. This along with the Mustang and Camaro getting smaller as evidenced already by the rumors of the 6th. Gen. Camaro and next Mustang.
All do to warranty concerns, reliability issues and the insurance industry. Not to mention the never ending race for better gas mileage and green cars.
You can never have enough power!
