what are the effects of air drag at speed for every inch of lowering on a Fox bodyed Mustang with GT front ground effects wo/foglights?

I'm sure some of the faster cars can chime in on this and maybe some of the road racers that run top end races like the arizonia classic. I'm sure the lower the car the less the aerodynamic drag the car has to a point, as in nascar its always better for air to go around a car than go under it....sure drag racing isn't superspeedways, but at 100 plus mph less drag in a class like real street, pure stock and factory stock....less drag equals quicker ET's.

not only that, but the more air going under a car, the easier said car can lose control


in other words... and generally speaking of course, less air giong under the car equals more downforce on the tires.
