How long have you been a fan what years have you owned?
Corvette has created a great new following with the C8 and I for one say welcome glad you're aboard . We all know that in order for a product to survive it has to have sales . We are coming upon the 70th Anniversary of the Corvette in 2023 , which is within itself an amazing feat . It truly speaks volumes for the leadership and engineering Chevrolet has had. That being said its success would not have been possible without the consumer. Many members on this forum have bought these cars for years . And are the reason Corvette still exists. Without tooting your horn let's see how Corvette has survived by listing what years you've owned ?State how long you've been a fan .
I've always had a curiosity for them as a kid in the 80s thanks to the C4, I've always thought the C3 was beautiful. I'll admit I had prejudice against the Corvette due to it's pushrod motor, leaf springs and "Fiberglass" body so I never saw myself owning one.......until the C7 lured me in
I kept up with the C7 from day one, I never did buy one however. By the time I could afford a C7 the C8 was in testing. I love the C8 and I do aspire to own one however I'm now waiting to see what the Z-06 has in store with it's DOHC motor. Problem is, the new Nissan Z is looking like one hell of a proposition and at half the price of a base C8 (and the same cost as a clean, used C7)
In short, I've never owned a 'vette but I have love and respect for them.

Been a car guy since I was a kid. Followed in my dad's footsteps as an engineer with GM. Bought my first Vette, new in '74 (loaded, out the door $5,670 ). Sold it when I bought my new '86. Sold that one last month in anticipation of my '21. After 16 1/2 months just got a call this morning that I was matched to an allocation!

Bought my first (69) in 1972; second (07) in 2007; third (14) in 2014; fourth (17) in 2017; fifth (C8) sometime in the next few months in 2021.....576 on MacMulkin list at present....could be a 21 or a 22....we shall see....
I was never a fan until the 1984 came out. I was 16 and thought it was the coolest car in the world. I liked exotics, not muscle cars.
I have owned a lot of nice cars, mostly German. But the Vette will always be my sports car of choice
first one ,, 1960 bought it while was in the army, rebuilt the motor in the shop, got discharged 49 years ago yesterday. My buddy flew out to calif. from Mich. We drove the PCH all the way down from SF, then to Corpus Christy Texas, then to Miami in time for spring break then home to Michigan, kinda like route 66, next 1975, next 1982 then 2013 GS and now my C8 Driving back to AZ from the museum
