Daytona and rear window?

[DadsCharger00]

So realistically this is more just me being inquisitive, and likely will have various responses. But I was thinking  why were the daytonas rear windows more "filled in" per say then the charger itself? Was it performance, was it looks, or was there some reason that I can't think of? I don't have one, I've only seen ONE, but I'm curious.

it was for aerodynamics's. the stock recessed window was awful at high speeds.

Air flows around the side of the car and wraps around the c pillars and causes what they call dirty air. ( Farts are another example )  It causes so much turbulence that it actually slows the car down at racing speeds.

It created a low pressure area and actually at high speed wanted to lift the rear of the car and get it super loose.

uh, that is for a much different dynamic than what the hole in the charger back area created
