new to the evo and have questions

well im actually looking to sell my 04 big turbo(450+ hp srt4) well when i sell the car im gonna be in the market for an evo..i have tuned a few of these before and driven and couple fast 1's and im very interested i love them to tell the truth..but im in a toss up i have some people telling me to get a 05 because they come with lsd and how i drive i wont break the transfer case....is that true that the 05's have stronger tc's or is it that the lsd helps it from not shattering or??im really trying to look into this before i buy 1 but i am still looking to buy 1 just looking for owners feedbacks and peoples help thanks keith

what are your intentions with the car? daily driving, dragging, a little bit of everything?

yeah with the 05 there are some refinements...I believe it's the lsd but I don't think the transfer case is any different other than the dif

but it may not matter depending on what you are doing with the car anyway
