No flames, but same wipers.

You know you have an S4 when you have to explain your GTU isn't a base model.

You know you own an S5 when your stereo surround and center dash vents don't shatter into a million pieces when you get rear-ended, slicing your face as they fly past your head.

True story.

Not limited to S5's. My 88 convertible came stock with a CD player and (IIRC) a 16.6 gal fuel tank.

shut up! Didn't know 88 had the CD player yet.
The S5 has a 18.6 gallon tank, the S4 had 15.6 or so. No 16.6! Lies!

Or when you ask for a front ball joint at the dealership and they quote you $450.

LOL too true on the first one but any S5 owner that has not switched over to S4 A-arms with new ball joints is a fool...

You REFUSE to ever own an s4.

you can only think of 3 things the s4 has better: diff, endlinks, and control arms

S5 irons > S4 irons (big casting rear iron)
S5 turbo > S4 turbo (derp)
S5 NA rotors > S4 NA rotors (cause moar compression)
S5 housings = S4 housings (based on S4 timing over S5, and S5 being newer and maybe less mileage)
S5 TMIC > S4 TMIC (eh...)
S5 NA intake system > S4 NA intake system
S5 TII mesh > S4 TII blades

S4 TII Diff > S5 TII slop box (derp)
S4 omp > S5 limp dick
S4 control arms > S5 hahaha whut?
88 10th anny = S5 Infini (Seats and other bits but DAT GOLD TINT!! )

But my opinion... and final factor...
S4 tails(color matched) > S5 tails(modernized: i have these and i kinda dislike them)
