Yeah I hear that those who are seriously into ICE really need those amps from the batts.
Nay, That's nothing when compare to our top of the line RC batt at 3.3 AH 7.2 v Computer matched and VISed. A pack of these can cost around 500++ up to 600++ depending on the voltage.

I believe the optima batt is those gel type sealed batt and the dimension is something like our normal 70A batt. Some Hifi purist even put two of these in their car, connected in parallel to boost their amp.
If you think RC is expensive, wait until you hear how much those guys spent on their Car Hifi, just for a few mins of listening pleasure, unless they are travelling on the NS highway everyday!

Say, what is the weight of the car with all those Ti parts? Just curious.

Well, your car was definitely fast. I had a hard time chasing you the other evening. Perhaps I could not go faster than I wanted to as the rear end kept stepping out during corners.

Yeah, like after 20 to 30 runs, they become normal batteries... Are they really that expensive?

Yup, wouldn't want to go into that direction. Unless I ICEed by 1/10th scale car ! Anything HiFi is bloody expensive.

Aiyah, why not go to Ah Wong there and weight your car in full race trim without fuel plus bodyshell? He has a digital weighting scale machine if I'm not mistaken.
