thats the more premium one I believe.
usually i would go with the blue labeled delco but one is even better I believe.
what price was they charging? its a good choice and warranty.
for me I wouldnt pay over $200 for a battery

You got the right battery. In cars like the C7 with tons of electronics, more emphasis is placed on a high reserve rather than cold cranking amps (unless you live in an extremely cold climate).

That is a good battery for the C7. I have the blue labeled Delco battery in mine (replaced the original in 2019) and it works fine.

A battery with 77ah for a Grand Sport will work too? Or is a 74ah enough?
