Just curious as to your motivation to ask the question. Is it that some say that average age tends to be older? I'm not trying to bust your ***** here.

What is the average age of NOS powered Civics?

I like them both!

I bought my first Vette (1976) when I was 35, next a 1981, 1984, 1986, 2002 Black vert and now a 2004 Torch Red vert, 6 speed and chromed. I will be 61 next month. Before that was a Datsun (now Nissan) 260Z and a Mach I Mustang.
I may be getting older but at least I'm immature!!!!

My motivation occurred today actually. I ran into 2 older men in their Corvettes at a gas station outside of my town. They told me it's uncommon to see someone my age owning one. So, I decided to jump on the forum and ask how old everyone was. If it's hard for me to imagine a 17 year old behind the wheel I wonder what the men I ran into today would have thought.
