So in order to make this downforce by.....how? because the way i see it..the low pressure area is already making the most downforce, and feeding it any sort of air perpendicularity especially high speed air will make it no longer a low pressure zone, but normalized atmosphere.
but you talk about reducing drag behind the trunk area using a smooth transition from the diffuser..then...exactly how was I incorrect when i said, the reason why the center diff channel feeds upwards was to divert "to the area that greatly suffers from wake (turbulance) and vacuum (drag) which is directly behind the trunk and centerline of the vehicle"
sounds like we are talking about the same dam thing

The air under the car will still be higher pressure than the area at the rear. The diffuser smoothly 'connects' them to transfer pressure from underneath (reducing lift) to the back (reducing drag).
It's important to not just think in terms of just high and low pressure, but of pressure differences.
