cars can't lift off the ground at 80, but you'll have less control if your car has aerodynamic lift. everyone knows that lol
as long as the front end isn't completely flat, a more rounded blunt end is fine, unless you're coming close to the sound barrier. blunt front ends will give more resistance because you're pushing more air out of the way, but if done right, that can be beneficial. air dams are a perfect example.
the mclaren and saleen s7 are made to go 200 plus mph, so they need to be sleek and offer as little wind resistance as possible while having enough downforce to keep control at speed. on mass market cars, you rarely see that level of aerodynamic engineering.
