I would really like to see it broken down more, ie 20-30, 30-40, 40-50 etc

This question is flawed. Most who are here and have actually taken the time to register already have a Corvette or are really interested in Corvettes.

Since the C7 isn't even out yet, most people here came here because the older style appealed to them (and most young people didn't like the "Old Man" connotation of the C6)

The under 40 crowd most likely do not come here...they being busy with Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, Vine, Twitter, Youtube etc.

So we all know where this poll is heading....

True... the demographic here on CF will be a higher percentage of people under 40 than the actual ownership demographics of the car. Kind of like the BMW forum where there are tons of 18 to 22 year olds driving their M3s (mostly Daddy acquired )... many younger people who are car enthusiasts will be on a forum but it is less likely more "mature" enthusiasts will be here on a relative basis IMO.

Default wow, so far, nearly 1/3 under 40

Early going but nearly 1/3 of buyers under 40. Good news for GM if that percentage holds

The young people need to remember which age group invented the internet, PC, laptops etc. They are using the old peoples stuff. Let's see how they do during their turn over the next thirty years.

40 to 50 in the high priced sports car market is younger..The P car company focuses on this demographic.

I might be "old", but that doesn't mean I have to grow up!
