Lynn,

Yes, but the GT40 is really a race car you can drive on the street is it not. So having gear noise and positive shifts are not a problem with me. I will go with the go fast stuff over comforts any day.

It really comes down to what you want.

To reiterate Tim Kay - Straight cut boxes are LOUD. They will drown out all but the largest displacement engines. The noise they produce is also a frequency that is extremely annoying. If you ever heard a straight cut box as a spectator, it is twice a loud in the car.
