I'm just glad GM thought to install a little cover over them so they don't **** me off every time I see them.
Granted, they are better than the cupholders in my father's 911s. His 993 has exactly 0 cupholders. His 997 has 2 things that amount to a plastic frame that pop out from the dash - not exactly what one would call sturdy. Ironically, they can hold a larger cup than the C6 can. You can fit a Gatorade bottle in his cupholders, not so much I the C6.

C4 & C6 Back Together Again!
Well, we did it. After 4 1/2 long, agonizing years of sellers remorse we bought our 1994 Torch Red C4 back and she is beside our 2005 Precision Red C6 in the garage again.
We built a new Mueller Building for them so they will be kept in there when finished.

What exactly did you miss about the C4? And now that you have it back in what ways do you favor it over your C6? I personally really like the way the C4 looks, especially ones that have the stance lowered a bit and have larger rims and lower profile tires.

Got My C4 Back!
Yes Sir We Did! On January 6th, 2015 we bought our 1994 Torch Red C4 Coupe back after 4.5 years of sellers remorse. And yes, we still have our 2005 Precision Red C6.
The 2005 Precision Red C6 (44,700 Miles) is still our Travel Car & Car Club Activities along with 3 car shows a year and the 1994 Torch Red C4 (57,800 Miles) which is original except for the usual tires & batteries will return to her place as our Show Car.

Sell it, don't sell it, love it, love the C4, drive it, don't drive it, want a C4 over a C6, your crazy, C4 is better, yada, yada, yada.
Every post is another opinion, but the bottom line is simple.
No one but YOU can decide what YOU want to do.
What ever you do, good luck.

Having owned 3 c4s I understand where you are coming from. They have more of a cockpit feel and are fun to drive even though not as smooth or fast etc. etc. I saw several go through the local corvette auction for less than $8k and they were pretty nice. Keep them both if you have room. Try to ignore the people that sat you are crazy.... There are guys on the c7 section saying the same thing about people that miss their c6.

Keep it!!
That car is sweet!!! Just like my 2005 Z51, I love this car. The C6 will turn more heads all day long as far as looks go. Plus the the Z51 LS2 is nothing to sneeze at, as far as performances goes either??Just my 2 cents though??

Fair Deal on The C4
Consideration was taken to the fact I still took her to be serviced, did the necessary repairs such as repairing the headlight buckets, got her show detailed, and showed her the majority of the time.
And yes, I was able to get all of the awards the C4 has won!
Bonus!
