Higher drag cars won't top out as well. This is the first modern General Motors vehicle to make use of an airfoil wing. That reduces drag due to downforce, significantly.
Anything that creates downforce increases drag - including an airfoil/wing - by disrupting the airflow over and around a car plus it increases rolling friction (desirable for grip). It is always a trade off.

Are you comparing an airfoil vs a blade type spoiler on the rear of the car's body?
