I agree the details are not quite flattering of their product... But it is nice to see
our car still being used in advertising, I'll add this to the Registry.

Jim's testimonial isn't particularly encouraging, and I wonder why they
bothered to share it. In it, he states that this battery isn't strong enough
to turn his engine over when it's hot!
He probably has a tired, weak stock starter, and/or poor grounds, and/or
too much timing. He says his motor has 11:1 compression, but unless he's
modified it somehow, that seems unlikely.
In any case, any decent battery should easily be able to turn over a
Pantera engine, hot or cold. If it doesn't, then something is wrong, most likely
with the car, not the battery.
Still, I'm amazed that Optima thinks that having a customer state that
their battery will only start his car when it's cold is somehow good
advertising?
