Ah ha! Thank you freebeard, I didn't know it was a specific spoiler.

It seems to me that if the length was optimized for streamlining, it would decrease Cd.



Very close.

Maybe the spoiler needs more angle in order to create a vortex so the air "rides" over the trunk?

Sorry if this is off-topic

Edit: Cd, thanks for the info and link posted above
That is what I was attempting to show.
