1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 cxd5 4.c4 Nf6 5.c5!?

SUMMARY:  5.c5 could be potent weapon in the right hands and certainly adds a new destabilizing dimension to the regular Panov fare.  It is my estimation that psychologically, Black will not be ready at all.

You now have enough information to set you on your way.
