Default One Way To Lighten Youre Z06
Heys Everyone Jegs Has A New Battery Alot Lighter Than Any Ive Seen In A Performance Battery. Most Batterys Including Optimas Are Anywhere From 33 Lbs To 59 Just Depends On The Type Of Optima You Buy. Now Eagle-picher Racing Battery Only 18.1 Lbs And 1250+ Cranking Amps. Price Range In At 182.00 This Is An Easy Way To Lose 30+ Lbs Off The Front End.

Still got the original battery. I had a Hawker in the Z/28, but I wouldn't consider that a DD battery. What about this one?
