Not with PWC hanging around, sticking it's toe in the door of endurance racing with the Sprint X concept....
WC Vision -the series' operators- have got things dialed in with GT racing in this country - the fields are so big they're actually causing problems. This is the sort of problem you WANT to have - it's easier to fix the problems stemming from oversized fields than undersized, after all(don't be surprised to see changes in the race groupings next year unless a lot of teams drop out).
I have no doubt that PWC could take on and defeat IMSA in a GT-only environment.
Besides that, there's just enough interest in prototype racing to support a series if it's well-run and well-promoted, even if it will never be the top dog of US motorsport. The only reason I see GT being a good top class for IMSA is if it were an in-name-only sort of class like late 90s GT1 or the 1970s GTX/Group 5 cars.
