No. Not broken. What you're seeing in the photos is body roll that is occurring because of the lateral g-force imparted by the turn. The body will roll in the opposite direction of the turn. Turn right, the body rolls left. Faster you go, the more you'll roll.

Is this really a serious question?

Defiantly. Take a picture of the car straight on, even parked. If is still leaning, then maybe. But those pictures look as I would expect.

From the looks of the spoiler, it looks like a base car (non-Z51), which will have more body roll than any other model. The Z51, GS, and Z06 all have beefier sway bars and stiffer springs.

I think the OP was trying to make a joke.

In that case, you're going far too slow. There should be smoke rolling off the tires, the *** end kicked out a few degrees, and **** eating grins all round..

Well the problem with that on this forum is that there a far stupider questions asked in all seriousness. And then we have people "hearing voices" that deliver to us the shocking news that an engine's HP is measured at the flywheel, it's a conspiracy, and we're all being cheated.

Kitesurfer, ignore the nay-sayers.

From these photos, it is clear you have a problem, but you're in luck becasue it can be easily fixed with a quick visit to you local PepBoys.

If I had to guess, it looks like your blinker fluid is low on the left side. Penzoil, AC Delco or even their house brand will do. Top off your left blinker fluid reservoir, and you should be good to go!
