one of the reasons why the GT has a fairly high drag coeficient is the how the lower body is set up... the wheels are almost fully exposed tot he airflow.

interesting the opel GT aero wich never saw production had some sort of airdam that might have been there to counter the aditional drag from the open roof.

perhaps an interesting idea for someone wanting to "aeromod" a gt without ruining the classic lines
