Yea but drag due to aero present at highway speeds. Just gets magnified at speed, but it would still impact performance at highway speeds. Someone needs to create an effective gearing chart for both. That will shows us quickly what impact the gears have. Then aero would be the only thing left.
Also just remember hearing this. A Ford engineer is on the TFL review talking about the the car being limited to 155(guessing the PP does away with that?) But they also talk about the new spoiler causing drag at those speeds and pulling it off, it could go higher. So there's drag on the GT too. I'm more inclined to believe gearing is the reason, but need to see what the RPMs/speed are for each.
3:35 and 4:45 mark
