I was gonna get an red top until the cheapest price I could find was $220 plus tax.

So I picked up a Die Hard Gold for $110 taxes included and it comes with an 8 year warranty and free towing service if the battery is ever at fault for leaving you stranded.

Are you guys talking about the Optima batteries when you say red top? Optima batteries are the killest batteries out there if your not talking about them (they also usually come with a red top). They can fit any application and is the standard with all racing applications. It will probably cost you close to 2 bills though unless you got some kinda hook up

Yeah Costco does have a wicked guarantee, if you are not completely happy with your purchase you can return your product with no hassle at all, much better than most places. I've done it with a few items.

I have a big system in my car and I have had both red and yellow top. The yellow seems to be alot better for my aplication but I also modified my bracket for my alternator and put a larger alternator on off of a 94-95 stang.
