Truth.

My drinks always wind up two places: being held by the better half or hanging out in the back seats.

At my first track day at Watkins Glen (full course), during my third session, my instructor brings along one of those 16oz Solo cups filled water, and says, "If I stay dry you are solo'd."

Not only did he stay dry, but I was about 1.5s faster than my previous session. Proving that smooth is fast.

I hate when people say this... You do realize that most people who will drive this car will not be racing or hard driving 24/7 or even once or twice a month. I drove an RX7 for some years and I cant tell you how frustrating it was to order a combo and realize that i dont have any other place to put my rootbeer than between my legs, and freezing my nuts. Try heel toeing with a hot ass coffee in your crotch. You NEED cup holders bro.

This thread is fail. Can we stop complaining about these cars? Drink holder or no drink holder. Armrest or no armrest, I as the driver will accomodate for this car.

My 93 accord no cupholder and no armrest and you know what I still carry water and other peoples drinks in non bottles just fine. And my arm has been doing just fine without an armrest.

I really think we have ran out of things to talk about, thats why a lot of these lame threads are being made.

To OP, drive the car first then let me know if your drink spills. Saying it "looks like it will spill on the back seats in 4th gear" is a bad observation based off of only a photo.

Absolute truth.

I love it when everybody is quick to say "this is a drivers car" to make up for any shortcomings that cars like these may have.

There is a difference between a drivers car and a track car.

A track car is forgiving of any amenities not standard because it's track focused.(ExigeS,Superlegerra Lp560,GT3RS)

A drivers car is driven in regular daily driving situations so I can understand where some people might find issues with it not having the minimum allowable features.

You don't know nothing about what is trolling.

First of all, if you have coffee in your car, cup holder or not, you don't need to be heel-toeing your downshifts. Seriously.

Secondly, I don't use the cup holders in my daily driver, because my car IS NOT FOR EATING. Christ, that's what restaurants or your kitchen table are for.

I need cupholders... coffee for the morning commutes.
With that said, I don't think these will be a problem.

Marcus Burnett: Hey man where-where-where's your cup holder?
Mike Lowrey: I don't have one.
Marcus Burnett: What the f- w'you mean you don't have one? Eighty thousand dollars for this car and you ain't got no damn cup holder?
Mike Lowrey: It's $105,000 and this happens to be one of the fastest production cars on the planet. Zero to sixty in four seconds, sweetie. It's a limited edition.
Marcus Burnett: You damn right it's limited. No cup holder, no back seat. Just a shiny **** with two chairs in it. I guess we the balls just draggin' the fuck along.

Last time I checked this was a forum to talk about the car. We already know a lot and are waiting for more info. I don't think there's any problems in discussing aspects of the design, good or bad.
