57 now but got my first ZR1 about 5 years ago.
I agree the Corvette has been a "boomer" phenomenon. In my opinion I think we have seen the peak for C-1s and C-2s as the boomers age. It is also possible that C-3s have peaked. I think a C-4 like a ZR-1 has the respect of the younger crowd who realize what it represents. Because of the realitively low production #s the values of original low mileage ZR-1's will rebound in the next 5 years. My $0.02. ![]()

Don't you know there is a time warp plane that stretches across from the A pillar to the B pillar to the threshold of these cars? Crossing the plane resets you clock to about 19 years old...or at least that's what people lucky enough to ride shotgun have told me! ![]()

Yesterday, Thanksgiving, and my 67th birthday too. This car is a "Time Machine". It takes me back to 1967 when I had a split window coupe, a real street racer. Solid lifters, open pipes, and a 4.56 gear. The sound the ZR-1 makes reminds me of that car, just more civilized. That's why it sees 7K almost every time out.

I can imagine the data in this poll gets stale too like many others over time.
Cars get sold and we all progress up the scale ![]() When a car is sold the old owner is not likely to come here and update things. Some polls that get stale and could possibly be redone every so many years. 1. What oil we use 2. Where are the cars. 3. What spark plugs 4. What mileage you have 5. How old are we. Why reset? Well for accuracy and for posterity. Who knows someone may want to right a book on the changing preferences over time ![]() On the other hand. Who cares..........

When I turned 50 (eight years ago) I gave myself a birthday present of my first Corvette. And, now I'm on my fifth Corvette in eight years....the 1991 ZR-1, which I have owned for exactly three years today (10/12/12)...!!
