Being how the optima is a top mounted terminal battery, will the factory cables reach? and attach normally??

They are top and side mount. Should be no problem!
How goes the BEAST!! If you still have your AC Delco crap, in there get it out ASAP, fricken thing made a dam mess
Mine made a mess. Looking to get myself a red top, but relocated. If I get a box made to go where the back seat used to go then ill mount it there. If not to the spare tire well it goes.

Doing good here, aside from the alternator crapping out, and stranding me duiring lunch break 2 weeks ago. Had to have AAA come out at town the car to the garage, in shame. :-(
So yeah, a red top (side mount) will be put into it after winter in 2006.
How are you, the hawk, the 1-DSC Ram-Air, wife and kids doing?
(not nessesarrily in that order :-)

I am on my 3rd Delco in 5 yrs.........the last one was prorated and cost me $11 but after this one takes a crap I will get the Optima.
I never had good luck with Interstates with my GTP.....then again my GTP ate alternators 4 in 7 yrs go figure.
