When you are 55 to 60 old you did not have the costs of you children anymore, so the higher price isnt a problem anymore

I'm 19 and have an SS.... And no its not mommy/daddy sponsored. hahaha

46 here, and my 2017 Camaro was my first brand new car...ever.

16VertSSNJ · 07-07-2017, 08:10 AM

49.....Sold a Supercharged Grand Sport Vette and bought '16 SS Vert.....pretty much a swap in cost.

I loved the Vette and miss the performance but the Camaro is just so much more practical and I wanted a convertible. Although, the lack of storage in the car drives me crazy.

Resisting the temptation to drop in a supercharger......

I'm 64, have had a 2010 Base and 2013 GS vert Corvette, and four Camaros and a Trans Am from 1978 to 2016. My 2016 2SS with A8 NPP and MRC is the best of the bunch.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Wow,very surprising going by the poll results it looks like the average age is between 18 and 70!

Norm Peterson · 07-07-2017, 10:53 AM

What I expect from seeing similar polls is the secondary peak in the 46-55 age group to become more defined. Cars and perhaps forum activity tend to get set on the back burner in between the peaks.

I personally know a 63 y/o who's got a 2017 1SS but isn't a member here or likely to ever join. Hope nobody minds that the 55-65 count just went up by one.

Same here, and same age. All the others I've owned have been varying levels of used.

ABM1SSSG3 · 07-07-2017, 12:42 PM

67 here.

douglas2742 · 07-07-2017, 02:12 PM

Yes I was surprised the over 65 group was so small since we older guys were driving American V8 muscle in the 60's and 70's and are a perfect target group for a modern Camaro V8. I'm 75 and loving my '17 SS!

1SS, factory Recaro seats, A8 w/paddle shift extentions, DPP, Factory lowering and handling kit, strut tower brace, CAI intake, Alpine sound system w/JL Stealthbox sub, Verde Insignia wheels, bigwormgraphix striping, red caliper covers.

Yup. For us older guys, 70 is the new 40.

My first car was a 1970 Chevelle SS that my mom bought brand new. I was thrilled to see the muscle car come back and do so in such a big way. My Camaro 2SS is surprisingly similarly sized but other than that there is no comparison, it's much more sports car than muscle car IMO.
