Well Motorcraft is Ford, so I would be surprised if any Corvette owner would defile his ZR-1 that way.
As to the Odyssey, last time I checked (several years ago) they did not make a ZR-1 specific battery. The one they said "might" fit had both side and top posts. Also as I recall it was more than $250.00 for a battery that "might" be ok.

So if anyone actually has an Odyssey in their ZR-1, I will add it. And if someone is brave enough to admit putting in a Motorcraft, I will add it to the list. Of course their ZR-1 card must immediately be confiscated and the authorities notified for possible criminal prosecution. :wink:

I have an Odyssey 925 in my Z. Been using it for about 2 years now without a single problem. Kind of spendy at around $160 but it only weighs 26lbs - good weight savings for the dollar if you ask me.

This is the one i wanted to buy,same as you. but US postal refuse to ship the battery to KUWAIT , the only shipper would do is Fedxpress and it was so expensive!!:jawdrop: so i cancel my order.
Good choice man.:cheers:

Q: is the 380 CCA will be fine for Z ?

You prompted my curiosity so I contacted a vendor I bought my motorcycle battery from. He said the PC925's dimensions are H 5.04, W 7.05, L 6.64 and weight is 24lbs. If yours is 26lbs, then you probably have a PC925MJT with a metal jacket which has extra heat and vibration protection. The 380cca of the PC925 is not what Odyssey likes to go by since they claim to have more accurate ratings compared with other battery manufactures. So they say the 925 has in fact 925ca for 5 seconds at 32 degrees (cca is suppose to be a 30 second start at 0 degrees). Supposedly, the battery they recommend for ZR-1's is the PC 1230 which has 710cca, or 1230ca for 5 seconds at 32 degrees. Confused yet? ;)

They claim that some battery companies don't measure with the same parameters, so the numbers are inflated. There is no mandatory requirement for them to use the 30 second crank at 0 degrees to achieve an actual cca number.


Regardless, since you have one in your ZR-1, I added it to the poll.

Nuttin' but the best for my ZR-1...Kirkland Signature Brand by Costco! Anything else is a waste of money. :D

You are correct - I have the 925MJT. The battery has worked flawlessly for over two years now including several sub freezing cold starts.
