Just ordered mine last week...black 6 spd coupe. I'm 36 years old and have wanted a Corvette since I was in my late 20's. Selling my '01 M3 to get this baby. Just one man's opinion, but I can't see where this car would not appeal to ANY sports car fan....irrespective of one's age.

Just turned 61, this is my third corvette, also have 1 2000SS Camaro MN6 that is just as much fun...Looking forward to owning both and having a back seat when I go grocery shopping.

Age? Pah.. I'm a car enthusiast - as are some of my friends. Have been since I could talk (so say my parents).
The Vette has always been an icon and I have always liked them. The C6 has brought on the love!
I'm 25 and just managed a 1995 911.. next stop is a brand new C6 (no, I can't keep them both).

I started another age poll back in August and came up with the same findings. The 26 -35 age group seems to be the majority.

View Poll Results: Age of people getting a C6
18 - 25 25 8.68%
26 - 35 71 24.65%
36 - 45 64 22.22%
46 - 55 64 22.22%
56 + 64 22.22%
While 26 - 35 is in the majority, it's not by much. We seem to be a diverse group. That's kewl. I wonder what the male - female demographic is.

I'm 47 (and can still climb the ladder that was in my garage); I have a C6 on order. I bought my first vette, which was preowned when I was 29. I couldn't afford a new one at the time but loved Corvettes all the same.
All models have a special character about them and I personally like them all. At the same time, the corvette does keep getting better, if they didn't, sales might be a bit slow at this point. Think of what has happened over the past 51 yrs. It's still a Corvette but it really is not the same car. 51 years in the making and still getting better. To argue that year 52 will be dramatically better than yr 51 is a trivial and mute debate.
