Optima red top
Which one best fits my car also I garage the car every winter for 4 months. Will the battery be ok as long as I disconnect the cable. My electronics are all stock so not interested in the yellow top.

Group 34 optima is the about the same size as the stock battery (Mabie a little tiny bit taller) but has the terminals stick up out of the top of battery instead of the stock battery which has them made lower so they are even with the top of battery. So they are the terminal length taller and make the carpet stick up that much.

It's not a little, I had a yellow and red top in the same 34/78 size. It kicks the carpet/board up about 1", you cannot put anything in the trunk without risking breaking that board. Just stick with a standard battery.
Code:
Battery RedTop 34/78 RedTop 75/25 OEM 90 Length 10.018” 9.340” 9.562" Width 6.886” 6.772” 6.875" Height 7.841” 7.697” 6.875"

Ya my post is a little confusing after re-reading it. I'm saying the optima not counting the terminals on top is about the same size. So the optima is about the terminal size(About 1"-1.25") Taller. Sorry about the confusion.
If Cherry_GT has experience with both and says 25/75 fits better then I'd go with that.
