Default Cold cranking amps of stock 06 GT Motorcraft?

Hey, can any of you with the original Motorocraft battery for an 06 Mustang GT with the Shaker 500 tell me what your cold cranking amps are?

I swear that it was supposed to be 590... but here's the thing, about 16 months ago mine died and was replaced under warranty at a dealership. This winter I had some trouble starting the car on several instances, needed couple of jump starts.

The battery died near the end of winter and when I came back from overseas I was going to replace it with a DieHard from AutoZone but noticed that the battery only had 500 CCA's. Just wondering if the dealership gave me a battery that was less than the CCA's recommended by Ford.

Woops, just realized I posted this in the 2010-2011 section. My bad. Wish I could delete it but alas.

you ar correct; a minimum of 590 cold cranking Amps with a 95 reserve minutes. But I would suggest 800 cold cranking Amp battery, they run about 180$, that's what I run in my '03
