I was admiring the new Ford GT and noticed that on the Le Mans car, the exhaust exits were moved from the rear to the side. Did they do this just for the rear diffuser (but the street exhaust is high so it doesn't seem like it would interfere)? What other reasons would there be? Would you ever do this on a street car?
I'm guessing that this would be louder in the cockpit, is that true? What other cons on a street car?
