The GT has equal length half shafts and torque steer should be at a minimum, anyway. Right?

Well, that's what a lot of people think but there is more to torque steer than just equal length shafts. If you want to get technical, they aren't true equal length shafts as there is an intermediate shaft which doesn't deflect and is held by a hanger.

Sorry for the bad ascii representation but the "T" represents the transmission and the "_" would be the intermediate shaft. The "/" and the "\" are the CV/half/drive shafts which are of equal length.
You don't need equal length shafts to eliminate torque steer. Yes it DOES help a bit, but it is just one piece of the puzzle. I've got unequal length drive shafts on my FWD race car and torque steer isn't a problem at all. Straight and true like the arrow flies.
