Looking at the very back of the transmission, it looks like there's a mainshaft and a pinion shaft visible over/under each other in a cutaway. Looks like either a manual or a dual clutch transaxle if that's what those are. Also I wonder in what form GM incorporated a version of the E-diff in there.

Like my father tells me (especially when he is trying to fix something around the house) “have ye faith”. I believe with the short headers, better tune, and better air induction system, I can see them easily getting 500hp crank. As long as it is more then the ordiginal 465, I will be very happy.

Same here. I've already started the water torture on SWMBO.
I'm ready to sell my C5 and pull money from the retirement fund for a down payment.
What I'm liking about the engine/trans CAD images is the longitudinal layout rather than a transverse one. This helps explain the long tail end aft of the cockpit.

I found this pic online and it shows some detail of the rear side scoops. Granted these may be camouflage, but it could provide clues.
Here's the original. And, the outline of the body lines around the side scoops that I think they show. The lines I'm seeing are very different from all the ME renders posted so far.
They are very similar to the C5 outlet scoops on the front fenders. I also thing the square-ish top of the steering wheel is interesting.
Just for the fun of it, I played with the image settings in Photoshop to bring out some details.

Appears to be a turbo OHV and not a turbo DOHC.
Also, you can see the long coil over shock for the rear suspension.
Glad to see what appears to be a smaller, less intrusive diffuser like the C6's.
Also, the wraparound taillights appear to be of a more sophisticated styling,
I have a feeling that you have more to show us.

I still remember when the C7 CAD was leaked 3 years before introducing the C7 Z06
The same is happening nowLast edited by Iker; 12-16-2017 at 07:17 AM.

I would not say identical, but they do appear to me as the same. The rear diffusers on the photo of the rear fascia wrap around the corner, while the diffuser in the CAD photo does not.

Missing CAD pictures still on Road and Track, CorvettOnLine, CorvetteBlogger, Jalopnik, 2nd largest C7 forum, and several other sites elsewhere. Yesterday, they quickly appeared on eight national media sites, but remain MIA on Detroit News and Detroit Free Press (FREEP).

I was asking about the photos posted by ZERV this morning at 5:30AM.
