Given that situation during the 90s I'm guessing that not a lot of effort was put into making higher power engines. So when the update for the model finally came out, it was too little too late.
I would still rather have one of those than almost any American car made in the last 20 years.

that's not entirely true bro. The 3000GT VR-4, The Supra TT, the 300ZX TT, the Skyline GTR all made above 276..infact most of them had right around 320... minus the ZX.
