Cup holders are usually named Heidi , Viki, Jackie, Angie, ''
- stay away from the Francesca cup holders as they are defective ( long story)

Then there was Stormy, Trixy and Gabriella. All tended to be pretty good cup holders, but more of a novelty....
Someone here posted about using a running shoe with the toe stuck under the passenger seat, then put your drink in the heel. Genious! And, I'm sure much less expensive than the others mentioned above.

Steve,
I bought one of the consoles from Steve at Console Creations. You can either screw it down to the tunnel or Velcro it (or just let it sit on the tunnel). I ended up going the Velcro route (industrial Velcro included) and it hasn't moved at all.
You do have to go to a shorter (~1.5 lb) fire extinguisher. The standard armrest is 8" high, which was too high for me. Steve will make it any height you want, so if you're interested, mock something up to measure the height you'd like.

Got The Bug, I recognize that console top! It appears to be very similar to the one in a 2000 Volvo S70, latch to the drivers side, cup holder slides out on the passenger side.

It makes sense that Steve found an existing top assembly, since designing a piece for a small run wouldn't be cost effective. It works for me and blends right into the car. He'll also upholster it to try and match the condition of your interior.

I just drove a Cobra with two in the middle. They didn't seem to be placed right as my elbow was right where a drink would go. I would move them forward. These were just aluminum cups sitting down in the console. See the picture. Say, how do you get pictures in these replys?

I understand this cupholder comes standard with the new Gallardo. I keep meaning to pick one up for the Cobra.

Just stay away from the red ones. The red ones look nice but can be very dangerous and unpredictable! Oh, how we digress...back on subject!

This is the one I installed in my cobra on the fiberglass wall behind passenger seat just beside fire extinguisher: http://tinyurl.com/ypl3wp
Has worked fine for 10 years.

I mounted a cup holder in the spot to the left of the drivers seat behind the door jam on the floor, it works well. The bloond does look like a better idea.

You're not supose to drink and drive. When in the cobra with soda I drink 20 oz bottles. Russ Thompson sells a cup holder as well however you might want to consider the Chevette idea too.

While intended for Corvettes , the Travel Buddy cupholder, 1 or 2 cups , might work in the passenger side and attached to the transmission tunnel.
Product quality is excellent. Had purchased 2 or 3 others, best that I have had. Needed in the Corvette to complement the A/C, PS, Power Windows, CD/FM/XM stereo etc., 
Original 1 cup is an engineering mistake.
