So you guys are going to have two C7s?
My wife and I are also childfree (and will remain that way). We were 28 when we bought the C7, and we've been sharing it for the past year, but looking to get second sports car soon. Right now, we're leaning towards a Lotus Elise or Exige.

When I bought my 2nd vette, a C3, I was 36.
When I bought my 3rd vette, a C5, I was 67.
One of you out there, somewhere, is taking delivery on my 4th one, a C7, sometime this year. Be gentle with it because I want it to be pristine when I buy it from you.

This C7 I pick-up on Friday will be my first Corvette, purchased at 66. Have owned sports cars all my life. Purchased a 57 porsche 356 at age 20 and had a succession of 911 Porsches until last year and I saw the new C7, and I saw the "light".
I guess that makes me a slow learner......

From looking at the Corvette target marketing for the C7, it looks like the demographics of the C7 owner group hasn't changed much from previous models...Over 75% are over 55

Just to throw a number out, if you use the mid-point for each bracket and use 63 for the 55+, the average age is 53.5.
