A Hawker Energy Odyssey PC1200MJ will fit in the stock battery compartment with a custom made hold down and minor modding of the Pos cable.

I'll second Lunar7's Hawker/Odyssey recommendation. I've been using a PC925 for a few years, and it's worked fine. I ordered a replacement recently from www.batteryweb.com at a good price. If you buy an Odyssey, I suggest getting the metal jacket and automotive terminal options (no extra charge at batteryweb).

Also, I have had bad luck with Optima on other cars.
They seem to die sudden early deaths for no apparent reason.

I have a 51R size battery mounted on a stainless steel battery tray (by Jeff Hoskinson -in this forum). It is about 1/2 the size & weight of the stock battery and gives me plenty of space for my M2 intercooler. I hope this helps since some of us do like to use the bins for storage.
