Check out this nice technical cutaway. It was prob'ly done by David Kimble who does a lot of great cutaways.

If you ask me, it's about time Chevy got back into racing the Corvette...

This is the Japanese version of the Corvette. If you've never seen the old Euro C4, it had tacked on fender lips, side repeater lamps, weird side view mirrors, and LH drive. The tail light scheme is still the same and conforms to their special vehicle codes. The optional magnesium wheels in the U.S. come as standard equipment overseas.
Excuse the quality of the pic--the original pic was on a large 2-page spreadsheet that couldn't fit on the scanner bed.

Thanks go to Cliff for pointing out that this is the Japanese-spec version.
