Also, since it was not in reverse, it may have caused major cell damage when the battery drained....

Your battery is old by now...it died when you hit it with starting current. After it got hit and died, its voltage was low enough to cause all the electrical errors...almost anything can be caused by low voltage. Go get a new battery

Also, one other thing to mention and as crazy as it sounds, just trust me. If you keep your iPhone in the same pocket as your keys or it directly covers your FOB, then the signal will not be strong enough to transmit.
I thought this was the dumbest thing I've ever heard, until I tested it, and sure enough it holds true!
Take your iPhone out of your pocket and try starting it again!

I am having the same problem with my 05. Everything works except it will not start. I just put a new battery in it about two months ago. I am the original owner and I have never had a problem with it. So I had it towed to the dealership to have them check it out. It took the dealership three days to figure it out and they said it was a bad computer. Well the computer is under a 80K mile warranty and they are in the process of replacing it. I will keep you posted.

well i just got my c6 last month and after eating one day i went to start her up and nothing happened, everything turned on but no crank, so , i just turned it off then made sure that i had the clutch in really far and it started right up, so im basically useless to this conversation, but make sure that you have the clutch in really deep
to start it, what can i say, im still getting used to it haha,
