I put an Optima in my Porsche and one in a friends Porsche.  Paid about
$130.00 both times.  Both times I bought Optima because it was available
immediately.  But my Porsche mechanic informed that the same battery is
marketed by Interstate for same or lower price with an additional year on
the guarantee.

Best of luck,
