Anywho, I can't remember the last time I bought a battery. But when I did, it was a cheap one.
Yeah, but their bumps are generally smoother. In a track car the bumps are hard and fast... I'm really just guestimating based on other's experiences. Nobody really has had any luck with them past a year.
have you been on a boat, hitting a wave at 30 mph is not smooth, if you removed the suspension from a car and replaced it with steel bars that would be more like a boat. - i am talking about smaller boats (under 30 feet) not yachts and cruisliners
