The R34 GTR outputs over 300bhp instead of the official 280. I donīt know about the rest(NSX, Lancer Evoīs, Imprezas, Supra, etc)
Now Mitsubishi makes the Lancer Evolution VIII FQ versions that go up to 400bhp, but has far as I know it only exists in the UK. The R35 GTR (If it ever it the streets) is claimed to have 300 even for the domestic market.
I guess the Japanese got sick and tired of their own "gentelmens agreement) to restrict power.
For the Germans (except Porsche) itīs a bit complicated, īcos as itīs said in the Top Gear vid of the CL65 AMG, the agreement was between them and the Green Party. ( But honestly, who the f*** votes on the Green Party!? )
What really pisses me off is the fact they only make AMG versions with an autoībox. At least donīt lie and say that "itīs because of the torque, itīs just too much!" Pussys...
