Anybody coming out with a Gen V rear diffuser?

Good question. A buddy put an aggressive looking one on his Lotus, which totally makes the car and is of course, functional

The stock one on the viper works well but when it's up on a lift it looks like a cheap piece of plastic. With no rear exhaust pipes, there's plenty of room to put an aggressive diffuser back there.

Look forward to seeing something

The car already has one. Do you mean a Carbon fiber one?

For such a powerful car, I'd expect a bulkier more aggressive rear diffuser. For both looks and function...

I know that Jetstar is working on one.

Diffusers should never be about appearance. Just about every shit-box commuter car on the road has fake winglets on the back of their bumper nowadays, most aren't even in the path of flow. I'd only want them if they are actually doing something. Maybe SRT learned that they weren't doing much on this generation?

Even some dumb SUV's have this "look" nowadays.

Some Lotii have quite outstanding diffusers. Too much for any street car if you'd ask me.

The GEN V spen A LOT of time in a wind tunnel so i'm sure the rear diffuser is VERY functional.

Heard Ralp talk about it in a video; stock rear diffuser is definitely functional and it's mission is to keep the ass on the ground.

Question: don't the reverse gear lights run thru the stock diffuser? If so it might be a challenge to mount them on a custom or aftermarket one. Just a thought
