I think that we'll see a privateer dominated LMP1 class long before we see GTE cars competing for overall wins on speed.
Those old GT1 cars were monstrously more deeply modified (to the point where most were built up to be racing cars first and foremost) to race than the current GTE cars, which even the Ford GT was built to much stricter regs to keep performance in check than say a Porsche 911 GT1 or McLaren F1, let alone the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR/CLK-LM and the Toyota GT-One.
