yes and no.
long story short... crash test damaged a battery in a test car, 3 weeks later, the battery caught fire. It also happened a second time in a crash test. A fire started a considerable amount of time AFTER a crash test which damaged the battery and coolant lines. They don't catch fire just for fun or at the moment of impact. They advise that the remaining battery charge after an accident that compromises the battery, should be drained/discharged to prevent a fire in the future. Point is, If its that bad of a crash, you shouldn't be driving it anyway and it would probably all get repaired/replaced anyway. Just one main item insurance companies should know needs to be replaced if any chance it was damaged.
ZR1s...maybe not. But i see no reason a V wouldn't be easy to get.
