Have it all? But u got one of these?

How about a Lithium Battery for only $1599.99 !

Can someone explain the point?

Braille Battery Intensity Lithium batteries deliver a higher, cleaner voltage--which improves the performance of every electrical component. They've been shown to provide quicker starting, improved management and data logging performance, and less horsepower draw from the alternator due to efficient charging (5 times faster than lead). Even in the harshest environments, Lithium batteries will last 3-5 times longer, with more reliability and significant weight savings. These Braille batteries don't self-discharge, so if they're disconnected (no draw or via power disconnect switch), they can sit for more than a year and still have over 13 V to start the vehicle.

Lighter faster charge/discharge. Good for drag cars or big stereos. By lighter were talking a group 31 (close to 100 lbs) for a 10-13 lb battery.

The significant weight savings will net you 10 HP. And it last 3-5 times longer, with more reliability. So in theory you won't need to buy a battery as often

It's a Braille battery. They're catering to all the blind people that drive a Camaro.

Well, if you got that battery, tossed out the spare tire, jack and the trash can mufflers, you're looking at almost 200 lbs. A few other things here and there and you could easily approach 250-275 lbs without drastically gutting the car.

That's almost 6th gen power to weight ratio on the V6 model. However, I don't how they are getting 5.1-5.4 sec 0-60's and solid mid 13's in the 1/4 mile stock.

It must be that magical 12 hp increase (335 vs 323 hp) along with the average (200-250 lb) weight loss on the V6's.

couldn't you just attaché a hose to the intake of your car. run that hose through the fire wall, attach it to the end of a funnel that sit under your butt where you cut a hole in your seat and jut eat a lot of taco bell that day to make a fart injection system
the chemical make up of a fart has a lot of performance lol
Nitrogen: 20-90%
Hydrogen: 0-50% (flammable)
Carbon dioxide: 10-30%
Oxygen: 0-10%
Methane: 0-10% (flammable)


ignore me 3 hours of sleep on grave yard shift makes for messed up ideas for car mods whahahah fire burns pretty

or if your really fat lose 100 pounds

Now THAT'S my way of thinking... dollars converted into used cars!

I need a new battery for my Blazer. I'm bugged about having to spend $200 (equivalent: 1989 Honda Civic) for an acceptable- quality battery. That lithium ion is WAY out of my tax bracket.

$1,500.00 for a Battery . I like mods just like the best of them but good thing it sits in the trunk wheel well cause around here if i turned my back at a car show, the cables would be cut and it would be gone in 60 seconds or less.
