Were they AGM batteries?

My second Red Top totally failed (my fault: I neglected to charge it during winter storage). My mechanic recommended Interstate and I know from years of experience with car and boat batteries that they are well regarded. So I had them order an Interstate MTZ 75DT. I told them it had to be AGM, side terminal, group 75.

When I got home I went on the Internet site and found the MTZ 75DT but when I put in my vehicle info ('03 vette) it said This Battery Does Not Fit Your Vehicle. And the 3 batteries they recommended for my car were all non-AGM.

So... Anyone have any experience with this battery?
