Suck! Were you able/did you try to start it after it was out of the water? Doesn't seem like it was that high of water for something like hydrolock. Bummer dude.

does not looks that deep.

You should not have stalled unless you were going faster than you should have.

Do you have CAI?

still


Your grille is not even in the water.

The spot that you passed where you rear wheel is must have been the spot where you dove under

Well that sucks, hopefully you'll recover soon on some level. Who's Insurance is going to have to foot the bill?

In this case, the Injen CAI probably did you in. If you were only idling when it stalled, you probably lucked out and didn't hydrolock it. It's painful to see a nice G Coupe in that environment/situation.... I wish you the best of luck in not having internal motor damage as a result!

Did the water come into the cabin when you opened the doors?
