Default Hot console.

The console in my 90 gets quite hot after driving for a while. Cupholders are great for coffee but not so good for cold drinks for sure. Is this common or have I got something going on?

Afraid to say, YES, they do get hot, and my C6 also does. The nature of the beast.

Yes the tunnel gets very warm, and the cup holders, barley hold a cup, but a cold can of coke will be warm in not to long of time.

It’s a feature so ingrained in Corvette ownership, that GM designed a center console heater that C8 owners won’t miss out.
