You can't make that assumption based on some pic that someone photoshopped. There's no guarantee the two cars are to scale. The C5 is 47.7 inches tall, and an AutoWeek article says this about the dimensions:
"The body is five inches shorter overall, two inches shaved from the front and three from the back, so overall length is within millimeters of the Porsche 911. At the rear axle line, the car is one inch narrower and this helps the tail look less massive than the C5’s. The wheelbase is 1.25 inches longer, the height is the same as before and the weight is the same (since the car is engineered to fit within the EPA weight class). "
