[572Camaro]

I must “weigh in” on this topic. I have experience with four different battery brands, as a gearhead, since 1974. My current 1968 Camaro uses a trunk mounted ODYSSEY battery with way oversized Navy strand cabling to proper termination points using nuclear grade terminals gold plated and torqued to spec. Here is what I have discovered:

Optima makes the prettiest battery.

Optima is the worst battery I have ever owned because I care about performance, not just looks.

When I replaced my red top Optima with an “Odyssey”, my Autometer full sweep fuel level gauge suddenly worked perfectly, my variable speed dual fan controller no longer required a “patch job” capacitor, and I could share several immediate improvements in my EFI, (F.A.S.T. XFI, 2.05) that fed the 572..,

Bottom Line is you gotta draw your own conclusion,
As for me, I won’t touch another Optima.
