I believe I saw this information displayed on a view graph that either Tadge or Kai Spande presented at last year's Corvette bash. You should be able to find information either at the Corvette museum or on YouTube.

You could also start a new thread with a poll to see just where we at CF fit in at this point in time.
Keep in mind for whatever experiment you are doing, any poll results from this or any other forum will not represent the average Corvette owner.

What would be more interesting would be to compare demographics between new C7 buyers and buyers of other new *premium* sports cars (Porsche 911, Audi R8, etc).
Doesn’t really tell you much to look at just 1, or to compare Corvette to entry level cars like Mustang or Camaro.
My theory is that when you compare demographics between equals, such as C7 and 911, the age difference will be small.

Corvette Demographics for Dummies says it is mostly a bunch of old male farts who can finally afford the toy they dreamed about when they were young. At least that is my description- although I have had older Corvettes in the past this is my first new one.

Then I must be an outlier at 27 years old. I’m wondering how many of my peers I have in the corvette world. Most of my friends are focused on other things besides sports cars. I was fortunate to get a great sales job out of college that even gives me a company vehicle which allows me the freedom of getting a less practical sports car. That job allowed me to get ahead of my age curve and take care of getting a house/wedding/wife’s car a little earlier than my buds. Now I’m trying to treat myself with the vet for a couple years before we start having kids! 12 more days till I pick it up in bowling green!

All but one of my four kids was over thirty when I bought mine. Before that the last coupe I owned was a ‘81 Honda Accord. Back then my oldest was three and his baby sister was just a year old. Plus discretionary income is a tough thing for most families to find, and even tougher for singles looking to establish their financial foundation. So for me it’s logical that most Corvette owners tend to be fifty plus.

Yeah, and if it AVERAGES out to 61 with all these 20-somethings, that means there must be a bunch of 80-something geezers to balance it out! 
Here's hoping that when I'm a geezer I can still get to a track day to operate a gasoline powered conveyance for my birthday!
