L5 for ppl who want to take it easy... but stock vs stock both are the same....but then, at drag strips, autocross in japan all uses L5 engines right so its a matter of time L5 will replace L2 as a performance optionfor me.... I'm a recent convert to L5 16v turbo <img src="https://zerotohundred.com/forums/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":biggrin:" title="Biggrin    :biggrin:" data-shortname=":biggrin:" />http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e346/papagoines/My%20Car/EngineSwap/Engine/IMG_1961-resized.jpg...and loving it :proud:</blockquote>
