Not Ranked
Even though you compete within class, you can also look at the overall finishes. Didn't Bob B almost take an overall win with a Daytona Coupe over the Ferarris at one of the last races of the season until Mann made him back off for worries about the tires giving out?
Still the fastest Daytona had a top speed of 187, while the gt40s had top speeds over 200. Who do you think would win a Le Mans?
One of the Daytonas was temporarily modified for a big block for the 64 Le Mans, but was never raced in with the big block. That might have been interesting.
And of course the 427 super coupe was not raced because the 427 cobra could not be put in the gt class since not enough cars were built in time and Ford did not want it competing in the prototype class against the gt40s. So another maybe would have been if the 427 could have been in the gt class, then the 427 super coupe could have raced at Le Mans at the same time as the gt40s (but not in the same class).
