stevey: I'm not sure at all about this, but I -think- the 2.5 degrees only applies to the semi-closed area under the car. Once you get out to where the boat tail is, I think it can rise so quickly because air can get in from either side around a (hopefully) smoothly rounded edge.

I hope somebody who actually knows what they're talking about can confirm or deny this.
