Mmmmm....carbon fiber race battery
New purchase for the silver bullit: race battery with carbon fiber shell. High levels of gangsterness and weight reduction for the win 
They weight 6lbs and have enough power to start my car...which is all I can ask of a battery. They also have some more powerful ones for those with subs and stuff.

Ahhh the CF Braille...the F1 of road car batteries. Well if you are going to have one for several years might as well drop a couple of Franklins. Forty pound weight reduction. I'm looking at the 12 pound Braille. Crazy thing is people spend a couple hundred on a Porsche battery that's just a rebadged boat anchor.
p.s.
have you ever seen a Champion F1 spark plug? looks like 50mm gun shell.

that's it below The F1 teams were complaing to Champion that for its size the traditional spark plugs were the heaviest part of the F1 motor. So they came up with that teeny thing on the far right.

Nothing like seeing carbon fiber and lead in the same product
While not F-1, the plugs that were specified for our Champ car engines are these tiny little bullet looking things that were pure platinum and cost (not price) was $90.00 ea.
