no chance driver (whoever THAT was) did not hear this. That said, given how low to the ground the C8 is, and how fast they may have been going, it is not surprising that this damage could have happened. If it were under full throttle condition at high speed, is the C8 loud enough to muffle such damage? It is a nice throaty V8, but I doubt it.

I agree! We picked up our 2002 C5 brand new and when we got home (3 Miles) discovered the paint scraped off the rocker panels in an area where the damage could not be seen without looking underneath the car.

The rock was much smaller in the end than when he initially hit it.

Just a wild guess, but I would bet he is full of 
in claiming he doesn’t remember doing that damage. Perhaps alcohol or drugs involved?
