That's because the underside of the car is relatively 'dirty' aerodynamically campared to the top or sides of the car. But really, unless you drive at or above legal highway speeds for extended periods, aerodynamics play a very small part in overall drag.

I assume the goal is reduced underhood temps if you trim the weatherstripping. There's many Benfits to that for people who drive hard. And I don't understand your statement on aero doesn't play a role in drag, that's exactly what it does. A car at highway speeds uses 60% of its engine to counter drag so its extremely important. But the camaro has the aero of a Mac truck because their priority was retro design. So as I said a tiny opening will have negligible impact.
