Default Which lightweight battery?

I have a 1976 Targa that I have installed an '85 3.2 in, but the battery is dead as a doornail, so if I'm going to replace it I might as well go with something lighter, right? This would be the first step to try and make the car more lightweight, before I get into the suspension. I have used the Odyssey PC-625 with good success in my PWC, but I'm thinking that might be kinda' small for street use. Maybe the 925L?



Or is there another option that makes more sense?

Thanks

I have been using the PC680MJ from Odyssey for the past year in my SC. It cracks her up even if she's been sitting for a month. I got mine from batterymart and use a Rennline kit to mount the battery.

I also use a Odyssey 925 from batterymart.com in my GT2. I also used one in previous cars...
