I've got over 8 years on two separate Optima Red Tops. A lot of folks say the quality control has gone since production went to a plant in Mexico, but I haven't seen a change yet. Just put one in my ZR last Summer so fingers crossed on this one.
Getting any battery out of the trunk cubby hole is a lot easier if you remove the hatch door. i think you just have to press in the pins and it comes out easily. Getting the OEM one out is easier if you can get one of those pivot/claw tools parts stores have to help customers install batteries, but worst case you can just Vise grip the battery terminals and pull straight up.

I just finished installing this Duracell in mine. has round vet holes just like the AC Delco OEM. Comes with a plug for the positive vent that we don't use and a handle that helps get it in the small compartment.
