Default Light weight Drag Batteries????

Will this type of battery negatively affect the everyday drivability of the car?

Don't leave your stereo playing or your lights on when the car is not running. Other than that you'll be fine.

I have the Hawker battery from www. gotbatteries .com. I am pleased with it so far, but once the system goes back in it will only be a drag race battery. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

I also have the Thunder Racing hold down, VERY NICE!

Stock battery weighed 42lbs
Hawker with TR Hold Down was 17lbs on the same scale.

A 25lb savings over the front wheels.
