I've used nothing but Optima red-tops for about the last 10 years. Using 3 of them right now. I just replaced the one in my '99, it lasted 6 years. It's trunk mounted with a stock gauge cable going direct to the starter, and it saw a lot of abuse. They are generally lighter than a conventional battery of similar rating, or at least used to be.
One or two I had replaced under warranty.
