I was going to use the corvette rear glove compartments, one for safety equipment, other for the "permanent tools" every car must have. But, i really do like the idea of putting the battery there, however, these cars usually have a 52/48 weight distribution, so keeping it in the trunk area is what i'm going to do. Although, the COG is lower where your mounting it.....
Hey Mike I've been going back and forth lately on where to put the battery , also trying to figure out where to put the 175 amp megafuse that American Autowire sends with the wiring kit I'm using. They recommend not locating it in the interior, but I'm wondering if both the battery and the megafuse would be "safe" in there beings that the compartments are fully enclosed with metal.

I am real curious to see what the weight distribution will be on my car with virtually the entire front end being carbon fiber.
