You know you own an S5 when the GTU is a base model 
You also know you own an S5 when you have to **** with a double TPS just to set your idle...
You might even know you have an S5 when... you can tell people you don't hit fuel cutoff until 9000 rpm
even though I would never have the ***** to take it there on all stock components lol

You know you have an S5 in Ontario Canada because you are always searching for S4s to buy on kijiji craigslist and rx7club to be emissions test exempt (June1988 and below).
