I would just use it for track trips. Using it every day in a car will wear it down.

Mine is working well, BTW!

I'd recommend the pc925. It has the power to perform the same or better than stock and still saves a good deal of weight. It weighs 25lbs. vs 13 for the pc680. I previously had the pc680 but had slow cranking and couldn't run accessories for any time at all.

I do not drive my car everday. I normally only drive it 1-2 time a week. Would this battery be enough for that? And that is the lightest battery out there correct? Also, it will be going in a c5 vette, will I have to modify any of the terminals or anything else to make it fit?

The alarm would drain it sitting in the car all week. That is the lightest battery you can get and it is for track use only. It is a top post.

I have two batteries - one a regular strong, heavy one with 850 CCA, and the PC680 that gets used 5 times a year!
