Does anyone think that the lifted tail underside for ground effects on these racing trucks contributes to the following truck's ability to invade the space of the leading car in front?

For example; I truly believe that a 911's low bumper and sloping mass away from the rear contributes to vehicles behind stopping way too close for comfort.

It's sort of like stopping at the rear of a trailer with nothing on it, a lack of massing or reference point ensues a certain disorientation.

The cars seem to have the same issue.................high tail, low nose.
