Best Optima Red Top?
They don't make the 75/35 any more, which has been posted as the best fit. From the pictures on their website, the 35 looks like the best fit, but the 25 and 75/25 look like they would also work.
I know for certain that the 34/78 does NOT work unless the red cable is redone due to a 90 degree hard bend (at least on my 91 965).
Has anyone purchased a Red Top lately?
Thanks.

Quick side note to my new Red Top:
My girlfriend installed my Optima battery for me while I was out of town. The old battery died when she went to my place and tried to start the 964 after I asked her to please to take my car for a drive since I was gone for a while. At one point, she threw a couple sparks while changing the battery and she called me all nervous about being shocked. Haha. I knew she could do it, so that's what I told her. She's such a soldier!

She has no sisters Indycam, sorry. I'll keep my eye peeled for any hot cousins though.

Thanks for the eBay link. I may go that route. The local Sears Grand says they have one, so we'll see.
The 75/35 isn't on their website anymore.

Refreshing this thread...
Did anyone ever find an Optima 75/35? If so where?
I see one on ebay... but shipping is $40... kinda kills the price. Trying to find it locally. Per some searching, some said that WalMart carried Optima earlier this year. I checked a couple but don;t see anything but their "Everstart" brand.

Costco carries Optimas -- red, yellow and blue. I think the reds are around $80, but I don't know what model(s) they carry. Costco.com doesn't list car batteries
