Possibly. Where did all the oil go?
260 is spicy. Pretty sure most gauges max out there, so could have gone over. Definitely sounds like it blew a head gasket. From the lack of oil/water situation, could have killed a bearign or two. . .
Any funny noises? First thing to do is a cooling system check to see if exhaust gasses are getting in. I'm assuming they are. At absolute minimum, I see head gaskets in your future. Stop driving the car until it's fixed.

Overheating can cause great alarm and should be handled with the upmost caution. Our advise would be to bring your C4 to a Chevrolet dealership, so they can diagnose your engine properly. If you need help locating a facility near you or connecting with one, you are welcomed to email our support team at socialmedia@gm.com anytime.
