Do you have a link? [8D]

I'm guessing you mean Optima. But yeah, I second this. I've got the Red Top in my Mustang.

Don't waste your money on an optima unless you plan on it taking bullets, grenades, RPG's, etc. That's why the military uses them.

I'd love the yellow top to match my car but I think it might be too much battery... or too much $$$.
Am I correct?

I've seen lots of S197 Mustangs with the red tops.
