GM needs the Midengine Corvette to compete with the Ford GT in the GT classes in IMSA and WEC.

I wouldn't say they need the mid-engined car to compete with Ford. The #3 Corvette stayed within sight of the #66 Ford GT for most of this past weekends Rolex 24 at Daytona, and the #3 finished 5 second down to the #66. GTLM is an incredibly tough field to race in with 7 cars finishing within 8 second of each other after 24 hours.
All of the cars were nicely matched if you leave out the DPi's who kinda ran away with the show for a bit.
