Yes please, cup holders would be great to have. It sucks driving a 6 speed with no cup holder.

 

hahahahaha!!!!!! i seriously started laughing pretty hard at that one! other people in the house were wondering what i was laughing at! well done spark, well done....

 

I remember when the mustang changed the body style in 99 or whatever. I cought an epesode of Car & Driver TV... The Mustang put the cup holder in such a spot to where the shifter hit it going into 3rd and 5th. ....

In the 4th gen, you can't use the center console holder... If you want to drive. It's good for change and small pieces of gum..

-Revise the way the drinks are held at the bottom... That damn wire on my flip out holder is going to be the cause for spilling my coffee one of these days..

Although, I am happy because my 85 Firebird had NO cup holders at all!! Hot coffee crotch SUX!!

 

I swaped my center out to a 02 and now i have one for each seat. But i agree there could be some change in this issue but im not going to hold the fact that there is not enough cup holders in a car to be a reason for me not to like it orn buy it

 

 

Hell with cup holders. Its a sports car not a ****ing lexus. I don't like that steering wheel or the gauges. Noones ever going to eat or drink in MY car, thats what restaurants are for. You like coffee? Finish it at home I say. heh. I don't think I'll be buying one with the possible upgrades I'd rather do to my Camaro, they are pretty cool though.

 

I dip, so I need a least 2 cupholders. I second the "more cupholders notion" especially if its a dd.

 

Cupholders? next you'll want it hold your BigMac so you can eat, drive, talk on the cell, and jerk off all at once.

 

I hate camaro cup holders. I had a 2000 SS and the cup holder was in the way of the shifter. I now have a 94 z and that cup holder is a huge joke as well. I mean, have any of you found a drink size that will actually fit in the holder without falling over when you hit the brakes. I hit the brakes in my car the other night and my coke ended up all in my center console and all in my shift plate. yeah, that will never happen again.......speaking of which, any of you know where i can get an ebony shift plate?

 

I hope you're joking.

 

Yeah, that about sums up this thread

 

^^^^ HAHAHAHA PERFECT SUMMARY! I like the German approach. No cup holders so maybe you will pay attention to the road instead of your F*%#@*# McDonalds. YOU COULD LOSE A FEW POUNDS AMERICA, WAIT TILL YOU GET HOME.

 

The cup holders in the 97-02 Firebirds are perfect IMO. The one behind the shifter is far enough down and back that an aluminum can fits perfectly in it, and the bottom has a circular ring designed to "lego" with standard cans.

The swing out holder in front of the radio is easily stored and opened, blends in nice with the consol when closed... though I wish the rubber retention "edges" were stiffer or maybe spring-loaded. The folding bottom / metal bar for the holder seriously needs to be rubber coated though... its metal vibrates on empty cans that are being held.

The door "holders" are really just storage spots for can shaped objects, though I've used them for unopened beverages on several occations.

I dig the later 4th gen cup holders... but the earlier ones were pretty ineffective.

 

Now that you mention it... I'd like heated/chilled cup holders in the center console, and heated seats as an option.

 

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but the amount of cup holders is much less important than the location and functionality of the cupholders they do include.

I tend to lean towards the "no cupholder" argument, but that would just make the car that much less marketable.
