Dome ST205 rear diffuser, abandoned project.. Options

[samir0189]

I've come across some information on a abandoned ST205 project - A rear diffuser for the 6gc.



Dome specializes in aerodynamics and has built quite a few race cars. According to Bespoke Ventures Blog, ...

... Dome decided to fix the biggest aerodynamic flaw of the vehicle and create a prototype-style underfloor and diffuser. This isn’t just form being secondary to function, this is function being the sole objective of the part. Dome measured a 9mph increase in top speed, a 7.8% improvement in fuel economy and a very useful 200lbs of downforce.

Unfortunately this project never developed beyond a prototype. [As far as I know based on information..]

My question is, has anyone else designed a rear diffuser for the 6gc, seeing the obvious performance benefits that it can have on our cars? And if not, can anyone fabricate one?

Edit: spelling

that would be a 2 times expensive item

1- the cost of a custom design piece of that magnitud
2- shipping cost to customers

not too many names come to my head when I think on potential buyers for this. not to mention the top speed increase and down force won't be something we can take advantage of on public roads. and imagine going over a speed bump and hearing a cracking sound ? painful.
