Optima Battery

RE: Optima Battery
Well, If the girl in that picture is you, and you drive a supercharged Mustang......I would think you could stop at ANY mechanics shop and get more help than you would EVER need!!!!
Seriously though, does the battery measure the same as the one that came out of the car? I would imagine there's only a small amount of room for a battery to be larger than the stock battery in that car....the engine compartment is quite tight.

Yup the pic is me
The batteries seemed to be the same size when next to each other. I think maybe the top posts could be a problem? I am thinking about moving the posts to the side of the battery.

Ahh, she's attractive, but I've got a girlfriend...So I'm trying to help out by asking about that adapter plate. Sometimes it'll say that you "need" the adapter plate, but you don't actually need it. Our '67 Jaguar says, per Optima's website, that it needs the adapter plate; however, when you connect it up in the car, you don't need it because of the area that the battery slides into and how the battery is held down via a modified bracket.
Let us know if you get it to fit, though!

I did not use the adapter and it still sat too high (when you closed the hood it stayed pushed up a little ). The guy at Discount Auto looked it up and it didn't show any Optima batteries that would fit a 2005 Mustang. So I had to go with a different battery that had recessed terminals. If I ever relocate the battery to the trunk, then I will get an Optima
