Default Burnt 2014 Stingray Hardly Recognizable, but Extra-Crispy



I certainly would've never been able to identify this as a C7, but I guess it would be hard to make anything out of a car that has sustained this kind of damage. The definition for "burnt" may soon have this Corvette's image next to it.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage.

I think this would be more interesting if there was actually some substance written about the cause...

They burn very well. The polymers, synthetics and fluids all contribute to the severity. Location and fire dept response is also important. sometimes more is left.

Damn, that's a shame. Hate to see what was once a beautiful car in that kind of shape.
