Default So how Old are you?
Curious as to what the average age is here on the forum and how long you’ve been a corvette owner.
I’m 45 now, first vette was at 19. On my 10th now

Been discussed before, but 53 here. First corvette at 43.

Might I suggest also involving the male vs female owners for a stronger metric?

This has been asked before....

What is your age group who owns or is purchasing a C8?

64. Bought first Vette in 1985 at age 27. Not a C8 owner yet (waiting on a Z06 allocation). Currently have a C6 and C7 Z06. Have not been without a Vette since the first one.

I'm 66 and purchased my first new Corvette at 17 and my '23 Z51 shown below is my 42nd Corvette. I'm on waiting list for a Z06 which will probably be my last New Corvette.
