In my opinion,

If the 427 Coupe was set up by Shelby, and ran against Shelby's re-worked
GT40's at Le Mans in the same class if that was possible, I highly doubt the coupe would have out performed the GT40's. Just like CSX2300 said, hard to beat a mid engined car that would have out handled the coupe all over the track.

If the 427 Coupe had run in a different class at Le Mans not competing against the GT40, it may have had a shot at winning its class, if it wasn't driven too hard to keep the 427 alive and kicking.
