My take:

1)Carbon brakes

3)Reduced minimum weight (not sure if ballast is currently being used)
4) and of course more power!
Well, I'd imagine you would not want to go TOO far outside what is sold to consumers. I don't recall but isn't ABS and TC also banned in GTE/GTLM?

Upgrading to carbon brakes would be fine.

I think an article has been done before to compare the off the lot version of the Corvette vs the race version. But that was years ago. It would be REALLY interesting to see what the current crop of GTE/GTLM drivers could do lap time using an off the lot with all the options corvette compared to the IMSA spec version at one of the tracks they go to.
