Ouch!

I just found this on wrecked exotics.com. They say it's a C6, but I'm not so sure. It's looking mighty C5ish to me. What's left of the headlight and the passenger side door tell me it's a C5.

Do you think speed was a factor in that crash?

Definately a C5, look at fender contour and you can see the square headlight.

BUT, is that another car (or part of another car) on top of the hood? If not, where did all that material come from? Is it the engine?

Yeah, just a little wax and a 50 gallon drum of fiber glass and resin. Any noob with a few hours could set this straight.

Looks like it needs an alignment to me- there's definitely too much negative camber on the front left tire.

I think thats the steel frame / front cross member bent up over the engine.
