I am active on a boat design forum and the golf ball surface topic resurrects every now and then. Yes it does work to certain extent - enough that dimpled/grooved surfaces are banned in many sailing classes. This is under water but same difference. Helps to keep the laminary flow following in areas where it would break loose otherwise.

Is it a significant difference in a car - I doubt.
