Battery in the trunk
So I had no idea until just now that the battery was trunk floor. Just didnt pay much attention to the engine bay pics I guess. There are only positive and negative posts.

Helps with both battery life and weight distribution. The Z06's and HHR's are both set up like that too.

A little Shunt in every trunk.

Battery in the trunk is best anyway.

Seems to be the current trend of Chevrolet cars man. Not sure why. Even the Cobalt SS/SC has it's battery in the trunk with extension battery leads running to the front of the car for those embarassing moments when you need a jumpstart. Next thing you know, they'll be putting the engine in the trunk too. Strange world we live in.

it's also to keep power to alert OnStar in the event of a head-on collision. also shielding it better from the weather helps keep the terminals from corroding.
