Hi all, I just received a Red Optima and the thing is radically heavy, is that the way they are or did I get the one for aircraft carriers? It's funny cause I've heard the battery location is to offset the driver... this one definitely will.

I guess I got one of the older good ones. Have had mine since 2006 and store the car every winter in the garage. Every couple of months I put a charger on it for a few hours. So far it is doing OK. Maybe I better cross my fingers! I do disconnect it from the battery cables while stored so there is no drain on it at all except internal.
