I don't think the teeny scoops feed the engine of the Corvette. Could you imagine getting enough air through those tiny little things to produce 638 hp?

(check out the CGI of the whole car) The airbox completely skips the little scoop. At best, all it does it blow air over the engine.

That's not a "CGI", it's human rendered by David Kimble. That guy is a master.

As I recall, the slit on the Corvettes is purely for decoration.

No, it's functional.
