If you do a lot of aerodynamic testing like Porsche did in the early 1970's you might be able to come up with a large Gurney Flap at the rear of the car that lowers Cd and raises top speed by also increasing down-force (Ducktail).

My guess is that just guessing at it will have unpredictable results.

However, the general idea I see is that anything you do to fill out the template, the better off you are.
