It's any age group.
I'm on the C8 FB page and every couple of days you have a "first time corvette owner", and they post their 2023 C8.
Kids these days, all they know is the C7, maybe the C6 and the C8. It's a car they want NOW, any generation corvette although most likely C6 and newer.
MIddle age, older people, and retired people choose a corvette as their car of choice for life during retirement. Doesn't matter what generation or variant, it's a corvette. Hell some dude on the forum sold his C7Z and bought a built C6 ZR1. And he's 70 years old.
These cars are more special than people think. Same way as you M lifers think about your M cars. It's the same thing with corvettes. I was just saying older people that others here make fun of, they are getting corvettes. And they have money to get whatever. Could be an M5 or an M3 or whatever. And they are choosing corvettes. It's a special feeling owning an american icon with legendary engines in them. |
I bought an f80 at 23 and a c5 z06 at 25 which I still have. 90% of the other corvettes I see are all older people. However, usually the c7s and c8s usually have more younger people driving
