Not to mention that the reason why LMP2 got sped up was that LMP2 cars and GTE cars were making roughly the same power, but even though the LMP2s were lighter, they were also draggier so top speeds weren't much different.
Just be glad that GT1 isn't around anymore, because even the LMP1 hybrids would have trouble pulling those 650-700bhp monsters on top end. And in '05 the Aston Martin DBR9s were faster down the straights at LM than all the LMP2 cars and most of the LMP1s. Even the Pescarolo C60Hs weren't a ton faster down the straights. Or even the Audi R10s even in '06 (they were often topping out at barely over 200mph).
