The racing regulations allowed for a max of 600hp I believe, so the restrictor brought the power down from 627hp+ to 600hp, so almost 30hp drop.
but isn't it upto the factory to restore as much power as possible given the restrictor which is placed... All race teams do this... it's never an "even" playing field in GT1 cars, GT2 cars, Prototypes etc. etc. ... not just different chassis...

one possiblity is that Macca added tons of torque, but were able to keep it at a "legal 600 hp" or so... torque wins races
