I'm leaning towards the Interstate 51R, it's $110 less expensive and has same CCA (500). I don't know the weight, but I can't imagine it will be too far off. The DieHard silver is 26.8 lbs, so that could be an option.
If you go down that road, the next stop after that would be a group 151 battery. This would be something around another 5-7 lbs ligher than a 51R. CCA is of course less than the 51R. The Duralast Gold (Autozone) in this size is rated at 370CCA which is still more than 360 if that is indeed the stock value. I don't know if this would be going too far, but the option is there for anybody who wants to try it.
