Holy Sh%t, Batman...54! ...but the Z06 "time machine" takes me back to the Summer of '67, and a brand new, red '67 Firebird 400 convertable w/ 4-speed (& hood tach)... More fun than even my first new Vette in '73 (Silver 4-speed Roadster, 2 topper) I guess it was the difference between 18 and 26. Took my newborn daughter home from the hospital in that Corvette. Later, she wanted me to keep & hand down my red '89 coupe, NOW she likes my wife's SLK 320 better than Dad's Z06!! I must have failed as a parent somewhere!
-HarleyB Never too late for a second childhood! + REALLY cheap auto insurance!!!

I'm 23 as well (almost 24)... just bought my '02 EB last week! Can't wait till I am 25 so I don't have to spend so much for insurance! I am also suprised at the number of young Z owners.
Wow...looks like the younger folks (under 40) are helping keep up the long tradition! That's really pretty cool. The car is attractive to a lot of different buyers. GM would be happy with this.
34 years young,

Another thing to consider is that the faact this is an internet poll, it is most likely skewed to favor us youngins. For instance, my dad is a long time vette onwer and fanatic, but he just got his first computer a year ago and is still searching for the "any key".

HEY - watch it Junior!
What age group do you think invented computers?
I first used a computer in 1967 - an IBM 1620 about the size of a Z06 and probably not as powerful as the processor in your cell phone. I bought my first PC in 1980 - a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I. It was an awesome machine for a person to own - 64K of RAM, no disk drives, but a cassette tape recorder for program storage, and a converted black and white TV for a monitor (yes, they really used to make TV's without color!).
Believe it or not, some of us still know a lot more about computers than our adult kids . . .

Glad to see there are more of us semi-senior members in this poll than there was in the last.

Hey Pat,
If we wait ten years to do this poll again, there will be even more!
