The RS Spyder is a customer chassis in a similar vein to the 956/962 and should be applauded!! Zytek have stepped up to the plate and developed a car that is just as capable - now just need Lola and the others to follow suite.....which the new P2 coupe looks like it could!!
Following your reasoning the P2 Lola Coupe should fall foul of the same regs!!
To repeat there is no real evidence that a privateer RS will destroy the opposition...will an 07 RS be quicker than an 05 Lola...yes and you would be incredibly naieve to think otherwise.....but i think you are not giving the professional teams in the LMS enough credit as they have allready realised they need new cars to meet this challenge. Will those running Pilbeams and Luccinis suffer - yes probably but those cars have never been truly good enough imo.
