SVR 18 gets rid of weight off the nose. You can even use the SVR 14 if you dont have a big system. Both are < $100

Dude, I hope you are kidding. I think we need more than 250-350 CCA for our cars. A good cheap battery would be the Auto-Zone gold battery. If I remember correctly, they are made by Honeywell who, I have been told, also makes the Sears Die Hard Gold. It is a good battery for cheap. That said, I would splurge for an Optima if it was me.

nope not kidding, I had the SVR-14 in my car for 6-8 months with no problems at all. Even starting at 25 degrees on some cold nights. Only time I had a problem is when I left the radio on for about 2 hours while washing waxing my car. That is when I got the SVR 18.
