Default $100 bet on this!

One of my friends wife says Corvettes are driven by "old guys with gray hair" !! She made this comment while looking at the Z06! I said I thought that most guys driving this were in their 40's. So, she bets me $100 large. Says I have to prove it! Anyone see or read anything regarding the average age of Z06 or C7 owners in general?? I really don't like her and would love to ask for my money!

Thanks

Sorry, in my 50's. If it helps, I wanted one when I was in my 20's but couldn't afford it then. Haven't seen any statistics but I expect they are out there.

I'm 41 and have TWO Z06s. Let her think on that for a while as you count your $$.

51 here. I could've bought one 13 years ago when I bought my 2004 CTS-V. I wasted a lot of time trying to make heavier, less capable cars do what a Corvette does innately.

You aren't helping the man win his bet cvp....best to abstain. We can split up the loot later.

My gut told me this is not a bet you can win. Then, after digging around a bit I found this. You may want to just let her forget about the bet.

67 next week (but only part of my hair starting turning grey in the last year).

Of the four others I know of in our club, one is in his 70's; two in their late 50's or early 60's; one in his 50's.
