A carbon fiber battery. Not sure if it would work in our cars (says for a STi) but at least the concept is cool.

We use these in almost everything now! Have not done one in a GT yet but they work great in the Lambo.:wink

if I had a carbon fiber battery I would want to mount it on the dash or something where people can see it. :wink

anyone know how much the stock battery weighs?

 

[Mullet]

30-35 lbs?

Fwiw,

My personal experience with these batteries has been less than ideal.

It's more intended for the weight savings then looks. The two size models we use weigh 9 and 11 lbs.:eek

I put the 'big' Braille in my 997. 21 lbs instead of 50 lbs (oem). So far, so good. Totally cannot justify it, but that's true for everything on this forum
