my 05 needs a battery, any suggestions
I would like to go with a optima red, yellow,or blue top but the cable mounting height is 7-5/8 compared to the stock 6-1/2 , anyone have the optima in now, and how is the clearance, does oddesey have anything. let me know what you fellas are using, my car has the stock hood with the insulation removed.

Optimas are great batteries, don't get me wrong. They have their place as far as applications go but they're not NECESSARY in our Stangs unless you do a lot of "engine-off" power usage. Their combination deep cycle/cranking battery is great but again, you can get a combo cheaper from the other manufacturers.
My choices, in order: Interstate, Delco, Diehard

OK, after living with women for the past 29 years, I'm allowed to change my mind between 2nd and 3rd choice!
I recently (last week) saw Optima Redtops going for $99 after rebate at a Farm & Fleet store. For that price (and ONLY because of the price), no question...
