You have got to be one of the coolest people I have ever heard of. 
If that had been me, I don't know what my reaction would have been after seeing the rear of my vette torn off by some yokel. 
My respects, sir, for your calm demeanor, your great sense of humor as a good example how all of us should behave when things go really bad. 
Glad you're ok, now let's get that car back on the road ASAP.

My car is finally back together and looks perfect although it did take several trips back to the shop but they fixed everything I pointed out.
Mine was a 98 and the damage was $15,000 They said it was totaled but I argued with them and the insurance decided to agree to fix it because of its sentimental value to me. I think me crying when they told me that they wanted to total it helped sway their decision.
Just be glad you or no one else was hurt and the car can be fixed.
If mine could be I know yours can.

I'm sorry for your loss. But it looks like you are safe to have the car repaired. I too, was in a minor accident and the car was repaired by County Corvette Inc. here in West Chester, PA and they did such a fantastic job YOU CANNOT TELL the car ever had so much a a scratch ! Good Luck !
