However, there is a reason the majority of dealer ordered cars have this option. It is the one option that makes a marked difference in the handling behavior of the car near the limit. Ask any Audi sales rep. how easy it is to move an S4/S5 without that option. So yes, it does indeed make a difference in the short term as far as resale value.

Oh well, I just found out the car is coming in early (tomorrow) so I'm riding high anyway! I think I likely got one of the first custom ordered S5's in my area!!
