Severly under-rated power, or restricted? :-k

Could well be under-rated. The Ford GT was rated at 550 HP but several independent chassis dyno tests gave 550 at the wheels. Guess they didn't want to get slagged again like with those Cobras 8 years or so ago whose owners sued because they were so far off the rated power...
