Default Battery details for '99 Diablo VT

Greetings ... the local shop is having difficulty getting the specs for which battery this car needs. Can someone reply with a recommended battery (manufacturer, model number) that isn't the $1200 Italian one? I'm told Interstate is the best bet for Diablos. Thanks,

--Joel

Interstates SUCK, buy an OPTIMA Red Top or Yellow Top and you'll never look back

and make sure they clean the ground to frame connection!!!!

There is only one choice in brand - Red Top.

Red Top Battery Model: 34R Part Number: 8003-151

is for the Diablo and what I use in my 99 roadster. It offers 1000 cranking amps which is the highest in the optima line (that will fit a diablo).

JAP
Tell me about your wheel spacers...
I have some now, but they require the use of a longer lug bolt. I'm going to switch my wheels soon and need to get spacers like yours, where you can use the original length bolts.
Where did u get them?

Would a 92 Diablo require the same battery?
