Whose idea was it...
...to take a car that can pull 1g on the skid pad, and put in a cup holder that lets go at 0.3g's?

That's not a cup holder, it's a cell phone holder

Cell phone is what goes in mine too. The aftermarket holders will allow your drinks to safely withstand the G's

just got my Z06 and learned the hard way that it does not hold ANYTHING. Currently being used as a remote control holder. What do you guys use as a cupholder. I don't eat in car just leave work for lunch and head back to work, but i gotta drive around in 2nd so i can hold my drink.

thats very funny you say that. I've had my car two weeks now, and when someone asked what it was, I also said it was a cellphone holder, and proceeded to put my cell phone there

I've got Girl-in-a-box (thank you very much!) cupholder so I use it for my keychain sized garage door opener. With the lid down it'll hold it in at 1g.

Totally useless as a cup holder. I use mine to hold some spare change.
