Well, well, well.
For once, I'm above average.

Median means the middle of a set of numbers not the average.

I was 15 when I got my '72, now I am 23. I have had several C1-C5s. Sadly I just have my '72 left, for now, until I can build the collection again. I also currently own a 1970 428 CJ Mustang.
But I would definitely say that I beat just about everyone to it. I grew up as kid in a 1960.
I was living in Hawaii at age 15, but moved to Texas for college. Now that I have graduated, I fly airplanes now!

I bought my first Corvette when I was 23, 2 years out of college. It was one year old and cost about 1/2 of my $10K /year salary.
In order for a young person to duplicate that today, that is buy a 2014 C7 for half their annual gross income they would have to be making about $110K per year.
I know there are lots of 23 year olds making that kind of money, but I didn't think GM wanted to sell their cars to drug dealers.

Pretty much a BS article from marketing. Its almost the same rhetoric they used when each new generation since 1962 has come out. Just for kicks, reread it putting C4, C5, or C6 in place of the C7. Younger guys will remember it from the C6, older ones will recall the same stuff from the C4's press articles. I also call BS on the 61 age average. Last I heard it was 52 or 53. Maybe they mean the average age of the 2013 model year vette buyer.
