Yep. Mid-50s on up seems to be the buyers for actually fast cars. I do see some younger people in BMWs, probably due to relatively cheap leasing and generous parents. Car guys are actually worried about how few younger people are interested in non-appliance cars.

On the other hand, something like a V6 Accord coupe is as fast as most sports sedans and sure costs less.

Every time I see some high end muscle car, hot rods etc, it's generally some guy who looks to be 80+ years old, just short of the grave yard..

Kinda scary actually.

The insurance for these old guys must be through the roof!

I bought my 2006 400 HP corvette at 37. I’m 42 now. I had a 1979 trans am before I was 18. Hotrods/muscle cars remain obtainable to anyone with a decent job and a decent credit history and a willingness to make a few sacrifices here and there. I’m thinking about getting an old chevelle next and throwing a blown 454 in it or maybe an older stingray and doing the same thing with it.
