There's a lot of untapped potential in these classes - GT3 in particular. The "Super GT3" idea briefly became a popular what if idea amongst engineers for exactly that reason - some looked at how much you could change before elevating things to an unsustainable level, some looked at how little you could get away with changing to achieve a particular performance gain.
Regardless, both classes could, without too much difficulty, be bumped up to current LMP2 speeds with a bit of work if someone wanted to go that far.
Can't recall where, but I did once(before talks of speeding up the classes began making serious rounds) read that with aerodynamic and suspension improvements(as in to the level of making the cars look VERY DTM-like) a 15% increase in GTE pace at Le Mans could be achieved on the same tires and brakes.
