Should be easy enough, session results are available in pdf and csv, usually. However. We had these same kinds of questions for the first super Sebring about dpi and privateer p1. Ultimately, p1 was p1, and back then in early dpi days they were racing against p2 cars, and on different tires. Bench racing is fun when you change the parameters, but in that analysis p1 was ahead based on average green flag lap times.
I suspect gte cars will be faster. They're two different classes that used to race together with clear class stratification. Corvette has had to dumb down the car a bit to race in gtd. The fastest gtd driver might overlap the slower gte ams, but I'm thinking over the course of their respective races, gte will have a clearer pace advantage.
It'll still be an interesting analysis though. Shame we won't have the same opportunity for le mans in a single race weekend and will only be able to compare times from two different years.
