According to most sources that wasn't the fault of the 300c owner. The ZR1 was trying to show off to the 300c and merged into the 300c's lane. The ZR1 owner was completely at fault.

...that's funny. ZR1 driver is a dumb a$$. Damnit! another great car ****'d up. 
Id say the odds of having a SRT8 300C and a video camera taping in the car is probability.
ZR-1 is 100% the person that crashed. But I would bet the lack of a camera might have prevented this. Not that I want it prevented. Idiots make great video!!

Look at the ratio of the shot, taller than it is wide. Screams cell phone camera. Chance of having your phone while driving 9/10.

The following is NSFW due to the language.
Hey guys. A good friend of mine who owns a Chrysler 300 SRT-8 was recently in a small wreck last week by a ZR1 Vette. The videos only a few seconds long and the screaming and yelling probably don't make it worth it to watch- but I thought I'd be doing a few of you a small injustice not to at least bring it up, if anything to laugh at him.
The story goes that around Friars road at 8 in the morning- they made a quick stop at Starbucks before they made their way out east. There were four of them in the SRT-8 heading out to a paint-ball range and while pulling out of the parking lot noticed the guy getting in the ZR1 and were probably eye-humping the hell out of his car. While getting onto the long on ramp to the 15, the driver of the SRT8 drove up to 30 mph and leveled the speed out while the guy in the passenger seat began rolling film to catch the awesomeness of this 124,000 dollar car drive by- they kinda figured the guy was going to show off by blowing past them onto the freeway, and they were right. The SRT8 had no intention of racing the Vette although the random comments on youtube say otherwise- you won't even hear the SRT8 rev up. The driver (who I know personally) owns a Mark IV Supra and is more of a car enthusiast than anything else.
When asked by police what the driver of the Vette does for a living- he avoids the question about 5 times before saying he works as a "Lock-smith" and lives on Coronado Island (A very expensive place to live). The driver walked away saying <quote> "I don't even want the car anymore." </quote>
Anyways- enjoy. My friends got other photos of both of the cars and their damage- and when he decides to post them up I'll update the thread.

The driver of the SRT8 was actually on his way to do that- which is why the camera went off so quick. He told me as soon as the car stopped moving he was out the door and to his trunk grabbing a large socket wrench. He was about to do him in Vin Diesel style until eventually it clicked for him that he was going to be covered and he have video evidence of the incident so he calmed down pretty quick. No weather I believed him or not is a different story, but I wasn't there so idk :readclose
