You're how old???
Just curious what the average age of a current C6 owner is?
My current age is 55.
I bought my first C5 at age 40, my second C6 at age 47 and my third C6 at age 54.
My current age is 55.

Bought my first Vette, a 1974, when I was 21
Second, a 1982 I fully restored, when I was 37
Third, a 1987 Callaway Twin Turbo, when I was 40
Fourth, a 1986 DD, when I was 41 (Owned this and the two above at the same time for a while)
Fifth is the 2006 I currently own which I bought new as a gift to myself when I retired from the Air Force when I was 46.
My '82 and '87 Callaway

I am 75 and bought my first Corvette new in 1967 when I was 22. Since then, my wife & I have always owned one. A 1970, 1976, 1995 and now our 2010 which we will probably keep!!

I'm 69, bought my first Vette, a 1957, when I was 23. Since then I have owned a total of 20, at least one each of C1, C2, C3,C4, C5, C6, and C7. I currently own a 2006 Monterey Red convertible. Guess my midlife crisis started early.

C6 of Year Finalist (performance mods) 2019
You go in 10 year spans from 40 up to 60. I guess at age 55, you think there must be very few under 40 who could afford one or over 60 that are still able to drive one.

I'm 62. Bought my first Vette when I was a junior in high school, a blue 68 in Colorado Springs. It was waiting to go to detail when I bought it. My dad co-signed. I pretty much drove it into the ground and graduated from college and ordered a new Grand Prix. I should have had the Vette rebuilt.I haven't had another until 2 months ago.

I’m 53. I retired in 2012 at 46 years of age. My retirement gift was a 12K mile 2005 C6 Coupe purchased in 2013. We traded the ‘05 for a 18K mile 3LT 2012 C6 Grand Sport in 2017. We then bought my dream Corvette, a 1972 C3 Stingray Coupe, in 2018. Both current Vettes are fair weather toys driven only for pleasure!

Never underestimate an old man. Reflexes may be a tad slower but still capable of embarrassing the young.

Going by my elementary math education, none of the above. I'm 39. Bought my first Corvette at 29, a 2006 Z06.
