Not looking to start a war, but think about it... 2 B5's will definately outlast a Speed and for less money. I make no claim that the Speed is not a Top Tier motor that is proven. But its not $300 more proven in my eyes...

The B5 was not brought out to combat the Speeds( although it makes just as much power) It was brought out to combat the regular Vspecs/ +4's and it owns them when you look at the performance/price aspect.

To each his own! If you got the cash for the speed... by all means!

I agree the OS does spoil you with its ease of operation and reliability...
