When you have so much torque by your side, being a little overweight is not a problem at all. Peugeot 908HDi has always been overweighted and very likely even porsche, audi and toyota lmp1 are over the min. weight.
During 2014-2016 IMSA seasons, DP were 140kg heavier than lmp2, but basically was irrelevant.
About cadillac there is an Angelelli interview after daytona success where he states that car is a bit more powerfull than lmp2 but however heavier because of the larger engine. About esm, before laguna seca race, scott sharp stated that the track fits better for aco lmp2 becasuse are about 50kg lighter than them.

And funny side of the issue, just one years ago, you were the one who speculated about esm car overweight (page 135 of this thread)
