40, but I'll be 41 when it gets delivered. God knows how old when/if I get a Z06. Never cared much for Vettes besides the early ones. The interiors were always a huge turnoff to me because of how cheap they were. When the C8 came out, I said "I can see myself owning this Corvette." I think GM did a great job bringing the car up to speed with what it should have been.

I'm in the upper end of the age scale, old enough to remember when a friend bought a decent 65 coupe w' powerglide (no one wanted a 2spd) for $300. 
Sold my 16 last Spring, prev. C5, C4's, still have a GTO & 40 Ford which aren't nearly that much fun to drive anymore. I'm on the Z06 list, who knows?

Bought my first Corvette at 40, my fourth (first new one) and "last" (as I told my wife) C7 in 2015. Had to have the mid-engine (and almost as important DCT - worried about physical ability to shift a manual in the near future) that I got last year at 67. I think I would really love to hear a FPC from the Z06 behind me in the future, but unless I win the lottery or some other significant windfall, I think I will have to stick to the promise to the better half that this Stingray will be my last.

Need another poll asking for "spiritual age" instead of physical age. I suspect most will be way under 30.

I've been somewhat spoiled but had to work towards all of my Corvettes.
First car- 1986 Corvette coupe. I got the car at 13 with the promise if I restored the car with my father, I could have the car. I finished the car during my senior year in 2006. Lots of hard work, but a fun adventure to work at.
Second car- 2005 Corvette coupe. Got extremely lucky, as the recession had just hit and a dealer liquidated the car for less than a new Camaro at the time.
Third car- 2014 Corvette coupe. Finally paid off college and had an e-commerce business established. I currently have the car but plan to liquidate within the next month or so.
Fourth car- 2022 Corvette coupe. First "new" car I've ever had but been fortunate with my track record. Currently the next round of allocation at MM for Nov.
I'm in the younger percentile of Corvette owners in the poll at 33. I tend to urge and try to help others that want to pursue their dreams of owning a Corvette. It just takes the work and means to do so.
