From your link. So, with a car, the dominant form of drag is not "pressure drag".

" So for objects in which the pressure drag is dominant, it can be beneficial to artificially trigger a boundary layer to go turbulent to reduce the flow separation effect. The most well-known example of this is the golf ball."

More friction, not less.
