Default How many c6 owners in their 20s?

While my Corvette isn't being driven in the winter here on Long Island I'm getting a little bored and just curious to see how many c6 owners we have here in our 20s.

I'm 25 and picked up mine last summer when I was 24. 2011 Grand Sport 6MT with an Airaid intake, Corsa Sport exhaust, MGW shifter, OZ Ultraleggeras, and tinted windows.

I have some Kooks 1 7/8 headers, catted x and a spinmonster cam with supporting mods that I'm waiting to put on after tax season. No time now as I'm an accountant. Here's some pics:

I just bought mine in October. I'm 25. I also own a 00 camaro and 91 mr2.

Definitely didn't want a c5 when I started looking and I got a great deal on this. $23k, had longtubes, can, supporting mods. Only other plans right now are some new headlight lenses and to paint the bezels. Made 440rwhp and 407tq.

I'm a production technician for a CNC manufacturer, I make about $42k before overtime, usually I work at least 8 hours over every week.

27 yrs old in Southern Indiana here. Bought my 2008 Z51 last fall after years of dreaming of them...life finally caught up to my wants and me and my wife found this one in Indy with only 17k miles. Sooo happy! Bone stock at the moment but cruising the parts for sale forum here is slowly eating away at my ability to not spend a crap ton of cash on this car lol.
I'm an Industrial Electrician working for our local union 16 here. Hard work = good pay! I've earned everything I have. I also track my 2007 CBR1000RR and am going to get my race license with MCRA at Putnam Park Road Course in April. Corvette Museum's new track is close to me and I'll be running my bike there May 2nd. Hopefully gonna be able to get the car out there for fun sometime too!

I'm 26 now, bought my first Corvette when i was 19, an electron blue c5z. I went through a few c5z's and now have a C6.

For a brief period I owned 2 c5z's for no reason.

I just turned 23...40 years ago....

Good for you young guys into Corvettes. So glad to see you in a Vette instead of some 4-door rice-burner type car.

I bought my first one when I was 23 which was 10 years ago now. It was a 97 C5 and I put a Maggie blower and a bunch of other bolt ons. Had a few C5 Z06's and a couple C6's before I bought my C6 Z06 I have now

There are a number of young guys under 35 on this thread, which is unusual for these forums.

It's perfect because I have a question that can only be answered by young guys under 35.

G.M. has made it very clear that they completely redesigned the look of the C7 because they wanted the 'vette to appeal to a much younger demographic.
Predominately under 35, to stimulate sales, and promote the brand.

Here's part one of my question...
Assuming that you can comfortably afford a new C7, say around $62,000 out the door, would you buy one?

Part two...
If you did buy one, would it be simply because you want a new Corvette, or because you're attracted by the new styling?

Thanks...
