Simple question, can you just buy the battery and bolt it straight in? Group buy charles?

Yes you can just swap it right in, nothing has to change. I am already selling them at a discount from the prices shown, no GB needed!

If you price the kit on AntiGravity's site it adds up to 1k.

$660 for a part that has endurance of a normal battery while cutting all that fat, with added fancy tech. Race car stuff without “because race car” sacrifice. That’s never gonna be cheap.

Not arguing about subjective views, but....people spend $200+ on shift knob, more on fake wheels....in the grand scheme, I don’t think this battery’s cost is bad at all.

Look up a guy named Robert (or Bob) Linton, IG robertlinton1.

TLDR: he has commissioned beryllium calipers for a couple of his Porsches. His pursuit for street car weight saving while retaining OEM (or better than OEM) functionality and fitment knows no bound, literally.

Some cars leave the factory with a lithium ion battery these days, such as the BMW M4:

Look at the price over there, ouch. Check out the amp hours though, niiice.

LMAO, I don't understand logic of some bit then again I am not logical when it comes to my Z. That said the battery is less than a set of tires and last you longer than four sets of tires!

Lithium battery added to the build sheet

I mean, I've already spent thousands on parts that probably won't ever be installed on my car so I can't say shět about the cost

The value of my yet-to-be-installed parts far outweighs my installed parts
