34. Had my first corvette just out of high school and will testify in any court that teenagers do not belong in cars with 300+ hp unless we're just intersted in decreasing the surplus population.

In case anyone is curious the average so far is 46.2 with the following:
3 teenagers
4 in their 20s
7 in their 30s
5 in their 40s
16 in their 50s
6 in their 60s
and 2 in their 70s

I'm actually surprised to see 14 under 40 here and would have thought the average to be 50+.

Owned Vettes from age 18 to age 28, had 4 of them during that time. After many years without, I'm now 60 and have had my C-4 just about a year. It's good to be back!

I'm 50 (51 next month). I bought my 95 last year. I bought my 67 in 1995 when I was 37. But I purchased my first Corvette, a 64, at age 22 back in 1981.
