Alot more to it than just dimples.... you have to bear in mind velocity and object shape....

A ball has no flat/square edges and air will take the shortest path which is easier on a smooth round object. A car has flat faces and areas of drag, this is part of the reason manufacturers state the Drag Coefficient of a car.
