This is intended to get a distribution curve for the length of ownership.
There is a field for "Former/future owner".
This poll may have to be moved to the "General Posts" thread.
Oh yah, 15yrs.

9 years ... I bought it on Feb. 20, 2003 from Dennis Scott, who still drives his first ZR-1, a red 90, that was the first 368 Aaron Scott built (I think). My black Z belonged to Dennis' wife and a lot of people in SC and GA still say to me "Oh, you're driving April's car".

Just 1 year here, picked it up at the start of The Gathering last May. Been in a C4 since April 1998ish. I just couldn't find the "right" Z before now. Hopefully I will be able to enjoy the cars for years; I have no plans of selling [-X

18 years. I think I'll keep it.
Not much of a sample yet. But I'm surprised that there aren't as many "old timers", like me, than I thought there would be.

So far the median length of time for ownership is at 6 yrs. We'll see if that changes by the time this poll times out.

11 years total and 3rd time around with my current 91. My 91 has been runing strong for 9 years with no end in sight . However... I got my eye on another one now. I can't think of another car that delivers more fun for the money.

Bought my First one back in 2001. I have a photo it with my Brand new 2002 Z06 somewhere. Ended up trading that ZR-1 for a 1968 BB Vette in 2008 but I have owned at least one ZR-1 since 2001. Most I had at one time was three haha

Average length is now 8yrs for respondents
That seems higher than the average car ownership experience. My all time longest was 8 years for a Jeep and 6 years for my 69 RS Camaro.
I had a z28 for 5 years and my LS3 vette is closing in at 4 years. I'm a whore with cars really, I've traded some away before the first set of tires was done.

Average is now back to 6yrs.
For me that's way less than my average.
I had a 73 LT4 for 18yrs and this ZR-1 for 15 now.
There was a Plymouth van for 10yrs and a Chevy van for 8yrs,
a Ford Mustang was only 4yrs and a Ford Explorer for 14yrs.
Then there was a Lincoln for 10yrs.
In all that time the only shop I've taken any vehicle to was the
tire and alignment shop. It's fun learning a car inside and out.
