Why does a performance car need cup holders at all? You're buying the car for the wrong reasons if you need cup holders!

The Corvette is a sports car, and even a racer, but today is probably most often used more like a GT car. I’m guessing over 80-90% of new Corvettes will never set tires on a track, except for controlled fun laps at an event like Bloomington Gold at Indy. Many, if not most, owners will appreciate two cup holders, especially on their drive to and from a track.

I’m sure that those engineers in the mules are using the cup holders.

I know, just a lighthearted jab at the other thread going on with people saying those with need for storage should look elsewhere!

But seriously, using cupholders in a camo'd mule is a PITA. By the time you've moved the coverings around enough to actually reach buttons under it that you need to actually drive, the little slots cut for containers have moved and no longer line up with the cup holder under it

This. And while I appreciate my cup holders for that "Once in a blue moon" use, its location right next to the shifter is ******* retarded. No matter how elegant I attempt to shift "normally", the back of my hand ALWAYS hits any sized drink in the cup holders forcing me to shift palm down over top of the shifter like a friggen limp-wristed sissy.

Now my cup holders are best utilized for my key FOB and house key.

Cup holders could be best designed in the doors.
