  23. After trying them in an SCCA Solo ][ ESP Mustang for a while, I 
  24. gave up. It was always having to be push started and it wouldn't idle to
  25. well (it never idled to well anyway) and the battery died irrecoverably once.
  26. I don't think it was worth the hassle. This car was only used for competing, BTW
