46 years old when I purchased my 16 Z06.

 

Can't remember if I posted here yet, but I was 38 when I got my Z51 back in 2015.

34. 2018 2lz z06 auto with PDR. My only car. Love it. Just hate getting all the "Old Man" jokes from everyone lol.

 

43 when I got it

 

Was 72 last week, and at my annual physical this week, my doc said that my goal of buying by C11 at 100 years old via Museum Delivery, driving it home to the Pacific Northwest was still on schedule. Always nice to get affirming news.

 

I'm 59 and soon turning 60, but here is my take.

When I am out and about, young kids come up to the car with longing and awe. They want me to fire up my "race car". I have a Magna Flow exhaust and it virtually explodes at start up. I usually let them push the auto start just to watch their faces as they ignite my rocket.

Old dudes come up and walk the car and they have longing and awe. But unlike the kids who think about what could be, old guys think about what was. It takes them to a time when they were young and liked to go fast. Way before they gave up their cherished ride for a mini-van.
I think for our group, we have chosen a Vette because we are not moved by Porsche, Lambo or Ferrari's because we know our cars are as powerful, fast and handle as well at 1/2 the price. We are not into flexing, we are into performance and value. We also like to drive our cars and not have to have a mechanic on staff. I think this is why we skew to being older. We just know better!

43 when got my first one (2001 C5) owned it a couple of years, then my second (this one- 2014 Z51) last year when i was 57.

 

58. First one in 86. She was a 86 and a 1/2. Aluminum heads. Since 86, we’ve only been without a Corvette only two years. 2014, got us going again. Bought and sold a Z 51. Then the 16 Z06. Then we went a little crazy with the 78 pace car, and an 89 convertible. The hook is all the way through my cheek! Truly is a sickness. But it’s a good sick!

 

22 when i got my 2014 back in september. Love it and hope to have one the rest of my life and no mommy and daddy didn’t pay for it.

 

Body 66, brain on 35. Any questions?

 

I was 67. My son was 48. My sister was 60 when she bought her first and she now is a young 79 with a brand new C7 Grand Sport.

 

54...yes, I noticed that the average owner in my area is probably 65 ish. Really gets my attention when I see someone clearly younger than 50 driving one because it is so rare. I almost did not get one because of perception others have of vette owners. Came from a 911S, just could not beat the value of a vette. Now quality in fit and finish compared to the others....well thats an entirely different story. And don't get me started about how you are treated at a Chevy dealer vs. a Porsche, MB, BMW, etc. dealer. Red headed step child!

 

I'm 70 and "young at heart":>):>):>):>) Had two items on my "Bucket List"....a 2017 Red Stingray...it's in the driveway and a "Pony Tail", which I'm working on!!

 

Put me down for 55 owned corvette one year now.

 

Just saw this post ... 2019 - I'm a few months shy of 58. Some mornings with my arthritis I feel like 68.

 

I can tell you what 68 felt like, and I would LOVE to have the aches and pains I had when I was 58!

 

68 here in KS.

 

45 when I purschased 25 months ago.

 

Average Age for Corvette Owner is 61. Average Age for Porsche Owner is if i recall correctly is either 52 or 54 but they are a brand with a myriad of offerings and not just one car.

 

From this we may conclude that Porsche owners eventually become Corvette owners!
