Remembering what happened in the best years of the GT1:

Le Mans 1995
Best GT1 Ferrari F40 3:55.150
Worst GT1 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 4:27.890
Le Mans 1996
Best GT1 Porsche 911 GT1 3:47.132
Worst GT1 Chrysler Viper GTS-R 4:11.014
Le Mans 1997
Best GT1 Porsche 911 GT1 EVO 3:43.363
Worst GT1 Lotus Elise GT1 3:51.373
Le Mans 1998
Best GT1 Mercedes CLK LM 3:35.544

The difference was enormous in the first years, it was reduced with the emergence of more developed models and there was no BOP at that time.
I honestly don't think the difference is so big now. And those were the years of the most beautiful cars of Le Mans and it would be good to return those times.

actually for 1997-1998 there was some kind of bop since turbo 911 GT1 had less power than NA mercedes/mclaren. 550 vs 600hp.
Anyway main difference is that in late 90 there were so many manufacturers willing to enter that ACO had to even split the main class between LMP and LMGTP in 1999. Today situation is way sadder.
