yea u need to wait a sec or two with the key in the "on" position to pressurize the fuel, but i do have a red top optima and its cool i guess. But i didnt pay a dime for mine, so im not complaining.

I just got a new battery this weekend. I got a duralast gold (red top). It put out more cranking amps than my old battery did(which worked fine, it just got too old). PLUS the duralast came with a 7 year warranty. $74 i think

So sometimes when I start my car it wont crank up and Id have to try again till it starts up...im thinking its the battery...
What do you guys think about the optima batteries?
I have a sound system in my car with 2 10's subs and in-dash dvd and I think its draining out alot of the power from the battery...
Thanks,

For systems, the yellow top may be a good choice for you.. however, its an extra few moneys

Yes the RED TOP! I paid $149 from local parts store. I aslo bought a 2.5amp trickle charger/idler for the initial charge before I put it in the car which I reccomend, and I keep it plugged it and hooked up to the battery which stays connected to the car all winter long to keep it fresh !
