There is a massive difference between
can't and
won't.
Ford has their own reasons for building a new GT, and odds are making money isn't one of them. Its a marketing exerciese more than anything else. They want a halo sports car. They want a technological showpiece. They want to win at LeMans again. The way to accomplish all those things at once is a Ford GT.
Meanwhile, Chevrolet has a halo sports car. They have technological show pieces. And motorsports cred? Got that too. They don't need something like the GT to do those things. If they're looking for a car with maximum performance, they could likely get better results reinvesting the money that would be spent on a mid-engined car back into improving the Corvette.

Which is probably why they say they intend on selling hundreds, rather than thousands of new GTs.
