I'm guessing you are talking about the Ford GT, not the GT40 (the old one). the reason for the styling of the new one is to make it look like the old one. The mustang is the same way. Loose out on some aero for apprearance sake.
As far as supercars go, that's a pretty average number. The engines, brakes, and transmission on these highly stressed vehicles require massive airflow. and as we know, even on our economic cars, cooling is a major portion of drag. with 5-10 X the h.p. it is to be excpected. The GT does actually have a lot of aerodynamic benefits. attached flow all the lenght of the car, terminating in a slight spoiler to create a sharp cutoff. Smooth under carriage. ducted cooling flow. The basics are still fairly good all these years later.
