The Audi R8 and the Pescarolo are probably the best privateer cars currently. Both are very fast for cars designed in 1999, and are very reliable, and are very easy to work on. That's why there never was privateer Bentleys-being built the traditional British way, the car used the lightest, smallest fasteners possible for that part, where as the R8 and Pesca use the same size fasteners where possible, for example.
In other words, the Speed 8s were a little to complex and expensive to be run successfuly by a privateer. And Bentley didn't want to keep a parts stock pile. They did what the wanted( win LM) and were gone. With that out in the open, here's my votes:
1 Pescarolo C60 Judd 5.0 or 5.5 V10
2 Audi R8 (ALMS only)
3 Creation/Zytec LMP1
4 Courage LC70
5 Lola B06/10
PS: the R8 would've scored higher, but the chances that it will see a race track in competitive anger in '07 in the ALMS is slim to none at best.
