Hmmm...let's see here...
As my C7 is new, it will be less than a year old when I take delivery.
So my answer is < 1

Great memories
I will be 73 next spring when I pick our Torch Red vert. My first Vette was a used 1956 which I purchased in 1960 and in which I courted my present wife of 50 years.
Since then I have had two C4s and three C5s. We had to switch to BMW verts because I had to drive grandkids to school. So now we are down to one grandkid and it will be back to driving my beloved Corvette.

Glad to see so many young people getting the Vettes. I read an article recently that said the average age was over 60 so I figured I would be one of the younger people getting a vette at age 54. My dealer just called today to say my Crystal Red, Z51, 2LT, 7 spd, black wheels, Mag ride control, Perf exhaust was just delivered this afternoon. Plan to take delivery tomorrow.

I am 59 but congratulations to all the younger owners with more years to enjoy the ride! However my Corvette Fever was diagnosed in 1973 when a 1972 Ontario Orange Coupe was obtained.
