Sports cars, by nature, are short on cargo space. The Boxster does pretty good between its front and rear storage areas, and the last two generations of Corvette have offered plenty of space for a weekend getaway (a reflection of the cars' business-class butt?). The GT goes a step beyond "sports car" cargo space and well into the realm of "ridiculous." A regulation basketball won't fit, though a volleyball and football might, if you position them carefully. Suffice to say, you won't be bringing the better half's weekend wardrobe along for a ride, unless you pay a chase vehicle to shadow your journey...
Like the Prowler and MR2 before it (or the Solstice/Sky after it) the GT is about driving first, luggage...well, somewhere in the teens.

The Solstice and the Sky are no better. Those are also drivers cars, for driving and (what I sense from the reviews) not much else.

What, no luggage rack option? That would be a spectacular way to dork up a GT. Then you'd have something to lash that basketball to ;-).

And how much space do those scoops on the hood take up when the lid is closed? Quite a bit I would suspect. As far as supercars go, at least to my knowledge, the Ferrari F430 has a rather acceptable space under it's hood.
