We've seen a 2010 Camaro (http://jalopnik.com/5176993/2010-chevy-camaro-first-drive) post rear-ending (http://jalopnik.com/5247902/this-is-what-a-totaled-camaro-ss-looks-like). Now we may have found the Camaro that did it.
There are no details on how this accident happened, but it looks the Camaro either drove face first into a blender or was in the middle of turning into a Transformer when it ran out of gas. Hey, at least the airbags worked. (Hat tip to Cesler!) [GM High-Tech Performance (http://blogs.gmhightechperformance.com/6555660/miscellaneous/2010-camaro-wreck-bad/index.html)]

Most likely caused by driver stupidity....sorry about the car, though.

That is some serious front-end damage! I wonder what it hit.

I wish people would stop being dumb, especially with the new Camaro. It's sad to see so much effort go into this car just to have it wrecked by someone who got their license at K-Mart.

Looks like he hit a pole. How dumb do you have to be to have such a beautiful car and destroy it so fast.

What did Homer say?
"That'll buff out, that'll buff out, that's a factory defect, that wheel was already on fire."

ouch....wonder how the driver/passengers came out. If they didn't sustain major injuries, then well done Chevrolet engineers.

Well the things that have worried me about these to accidents also link to something that is a good sign(sort of). Both accidents in the end look like hamburger meat(in the front and back end) and yet, the part where the warm bodies sit seem to be pretty intact.

Hard to tell from these pics but it looks like the passenger compartment survived relatively intact for what appears to be a very bad front impact. Nice work GM!!!

you beat me to it. Ive seen a few 4th gens that looked like pancakes smashed front to rear set out in front of High Schools as part of anti drunk driving campaigns. I dont doubt the 5th gen could end up in the same senario but both this and that car that had the rear totally destroyed look like you could crawl right out the window as if it had never been hit. Assuming of course you were capable at that point.
