Default 04 Z06 center console question

Just picked up my first Vette. I noticed the center console opens but there is no storage. Looks like it's blocked off. Is this typical for the Z06?

Probably the torque tube taking up all the space. It's a race car.

Yeah very small storage space in the console, but hey, at least it's got a great 'cup holder'.

The previous owner seemed to have built some type of bizarre shelf over where my rear seats used to be, but I have just learned to live with it because I don't know how much it would cost me to get it removed.
