When it's all said and done, a 600hp engine will create twice as much friction and rotational forces among all moving parts and tires as a 300hp engine. Twice as much friction means you need twice as much power to overcome said friction.
I don't necessarily agree with this in terms of drivetrain. If the same engine is modified to create more power and it remains coupled to the same drive train, this would not apply.
