I don't know anything about Aston Martins except they are fast and expensive and last I heard Prince Charles had one.
C4 Corvettes used a torque arm between the transmission and the differential. A C4 still has a normal driveshaft with u-joints. The torque arm may serve a similar purpose, but it looks a bit different.
C5 and C6 Corvettes are a bit more different. The motor is in the front like most cars, but the transmission and differential are both at the rear. They do have a tube with a shaft inside it between the front and rear and I presume it is called a torque tube.
