Well...the thing about the GT is this...it was modeled after an ORIGINAL GT-40. It' wasn't like they looked at an older GT-40 and said "hey...let's do something like that". They took precise measurements and created the car to those dimensions. All of the scoop and whatnot...yeah, they're a bit off for a street car, but unlike many other cars they have a purpose. Each scoop and intake in either designed to keep the car aerodynamically sound or to push air into the engine. It's not like in '01 when Ford decided "you know...we've got hood scoops...but they need to be bigger". That was just gay. The GTs actually GAIN traction as they go faster...a lot like the Saleen S7s. There aren't many riced out factory cars with tons of scoops that can claim that honor.
