Actually, I think the mid engine platform would allow for a bigger engine. One of the reasons GM (Tadge Juechter) said they stuck with the pushrod V8 in the C7 was because a DOHC was too tall fit under the low hood line. In a mid engine car, there's more room because of the rake of the design. A 6.2 DOHC would fit.
