I got my first Vette when I was, and still am, 35. Hopefully I can get the newer C6 Z06 when I turn 41. It'd be nice if I could keep the current Z06 an start a collection of Z06s.

My brother is 22 and he ordered a black on black 2006 C6 with a six speed, Z51 package, polished wheels, and the base 1LT targa top. Msrp $47,590, but my mother co signed for the car so he could get the gmac suppliers discount and the car is going to cost $42,430. My mother works at a plant that makes something for GM. My brother is a physical therapist assistant, and he just graduated this past May. He is supposed to get it around December.

Been a corvette owner for over a year now, bought my C5 at age 26. Though I've owned a long series of fast F-bodies pretty much since high school.
