It does not make sense that removing mirrors on a car would add drag. Removing mirrors lowers the CD and the frontal area, it's a win win situation. The only way a mirror could reduce drag vs no mirror would be if it was in the wake of a bigger object.

I would like it a lot if you could link to some background information supporting your affirmation.
