They also make a larger 34/78 size, which will physically fit in the battery compartment, but it requires a different clamp (avail from Optima) to secure it.
I used to have a red top, but after it failed, and receiving poor warranty service about it, I quit buying Optima. IMO, their quality isn't what it used to be, and they aren't worth the premium price.

Nope, I got/had 34/78s in both my 98 and 02 and I use the stock clamp. Perfect fit.
I've had MUCH better luck with the yellow top over the red top.
