Default How old are you corvette guys???
Im trying to see what the youngest and oldest corvette drivers are. Im guessing the youngest possible will be 16...of course. But I have no idea how old the oldest is.

I guess I'm the oldest at 36. When I was 33 I picked up a new 02 Z06. I sold it a few months ago and picked my 06 Z06. Life is good!!
