Evidence seemed strong enough to start the thread.

wait what
C7 
Eric, you couldn't be more correct. I am amazed at how well it took the impact. Funny thing is with all that front end damage, I would have thought the air bags would have deployed. My only thought is the passenger side to the bulk of the damage with no passenger to bag.

Airbags should only deploy in certain situations, like head on collisions where the impact is hard enough. Maybe with the rolling you lost enough speed that by the time you hit the embankment you were below the threshold for them to deploy?
The C7 interior is pretty great. But the exterior isn't doing much for me.
I don't like the back, but the rest is great. A carbon 450hp 7sp for $55k is fine by me.
A black or gray paint job would also make it look a lot less busy.
So Jimmy what happened? Are you okay? No broken bones?

Thanks sorry I was busy at work and not going through threads today. Glad you are ok.
only the roof and hood panels are carbon...just like the ZR1 has/had. no official word on pricing yet too
fify.Is it just me or does the shadow in the picture look like he's drinking a beer?
Still comes in at 3300lbs and 450hp, that is bad ass. 1/3 of the weight of a fiberglass panel.
The original story was a full carbon body. Either way, I noticed a difference in the hood of the ZR1 compared to Joe's base C6. The base C6 isn't heavy to start with.
The original price point was $55k base, but during the reveal they talked more like $53k base. After driving the ZR1 and spending much quality time with Joe's C6, I have no doubt the base C7 would be plenty for me as a driver.
The ZR1 I drove is still for sale.

$66,501. Its a steal.
<edit> It was listed for $75k when I drove it. PO hit the front and damaged the nose. All new nose and front carbon dam.

Glad you were ok. Could have been a lot worse. Saw a convertible version upside down on one of the local roads once. Yikes.
Glad you're OK. Crashing sucks, been there, done that, though not with a vehicle like that.
Oh SNAP! +rep to you for my pain, sir.Clearly.
