Two things...
You should post in the C7 forum;
You're screwed.
Get your insurance company involved. That is either a dealer repair or, my choice, a Corvette specialty repair shop.
Good luck.
Post where you are located...perhaps someone can recommend a shop.

Anything is repairable with enough time and money.
However....the fact you hit a curb and have not only suspension damage but body damage as well strongly suggests you bent the frame. That in turn leads me to suspect the a-arms and other suspension components are fubar'd. Without overall pics as well as pics of the suspension with the wheel off, everyone here is just guessing.
If all the above is true, you could in fact be very close to seeing it totaled.

With the amount of damage, I too can see your insurance company just totaling the car in the end.
Also, not really buying the swerved to miss a dog thing to smurf kiss a curb,
And would dare to guess that you light the motor up with the TC off, and this all came about via a snap hook of the rear end coming around kind of crash jumping a curve instead.
Hence something like this,
Hence on the C6, the back end loves to snap hook out to the right to crash you to the left, while the C7, the back end loves to snap hook out to the left to crash you to the right instead.

Well if the frame is not damaged (most likely it is) it maybe fixable. Car is worth somewhere around $40K-$42K for a base model. Nor sure what options you have so that may help.
