Actually, if you just need to run one cable to the battery (+) and can use the frame for the ground (near the rear of course) I think this would be a useful mod. One cable would only weigh around 5 lbs. I would only be interested in running the battery in the passenger side rear.

If you have a 08 or newer C6 the ZO6 set up will not work....Unless you remove the On-star electronics from the passenger side compartment. There just isn't enough room for a full size battery. If you run a good grade of marine cable and run 4 guage it won't add much weight...even if you run both cables the full distance. The Braille battery's are small, powerful and light. I used the 11 pound version without any problems.

I received an email from Gene Culley today regarding the Z06 parts to facilitate relocating the battery to the rear. He said the cost was $475.00 + shipping.
