24. I think...???

Ive always thought that the age was very biased towards younger people. which is interesting considering the number of 33s in the mix - theyre affordable fun, but theyre still not super-cheap.

Its not to say that I didnt think younger people would have fast cars, just that I thought that there would be a majority towards thirty, not twenty.

I guess it's an interesting reflection on the changing mentality between the generations - with more thirty year olds tending towards the monaro/ss type markets and the younger people more willing to embrace different, or possibly better marketed, imports.

I'd hate to think of us as a fast and the furious generation, but the tag might not be so far from the truth.

I didnt buy my car after seeing either of those movies - but I know some (mostly sub 20yo) people who love them...and ultimately probably aspire to them. we might not like the analogy, but it's difficult to avoid.

Id prefer to think of the movement towards jap imports by the early 20 somethings as a response to growing up watching the GTRs whoop everyone in the touring cars, then get banned cause they were too fast (and too expensive to compete against), rather than out of more recent street racer hype....

Well the age group is broader than I thought. It's actually surprised me given the cost of running one of beasts with insurance, price of after-market parts and fuel economy but I suppose if you love the marque then you're prepared to pay the price. (sorry for going a little OT).
