UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear. HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall. TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

    Mine has a 450 cca battery in it and I use a float charger to keep it healthy.

    +1 for the charger. I use a C-TEK brand designed in Sweden. Turbo Batteries told me you can get up to 8 years battery life using a C-TEK. I have a plug (supplied with charger) sitting out the front of my grille that's hard wired to the battery. It's just a matter of plugging in the car when I get home.

    Mine was a super charge job and it fits, a bit tight but it's there.  Below is the charger I have.  I have it permanently mounted on the wall in the garage.  It comes with a wiring harness that you permanently attach to the battery that saves you using the alligator clips.  With mine, I went to Jaycar and brought some extra cable similar to what was supplied to make the harness larger.  I now have the harness sitting just behind the bumper so when I pull up I simply plug it in and it's on charge.  I don't even need to lift the bonnent and the charger switches off when it is charged.

    I bought a similar one by the same company and from the same mob on eBay:

    They come in various sizes, but I bought the smallest one as it is just for maintaining the battery.  SCA sell them too.
