Default Difference Between 05 Evo8 And 04 Evo8???

I have been looking for info on the differences between the two years, Im not only talking performance either, im mean the whole car overall differences if any, I have seen the quatermile times a hundred times between the two stock but never nothing else. Is there any differences at all????? Obviously the 05's gotta have something different to run a half second faster on the quater. SO any help would be appretiated.

I always read things about the 03-04 evo and then there are things about the 05 evo's, but they are aways separate they never include the 05 in the 03-04 talk, thats why im curious. PLus if there was no difference between the two then why is the 05 supposably faster?????

there are PLENTY of differences. sebba seriously come on they are not the same at all right down to the turbo.

05s get ACD, LSD, better synros, 10.5 hotside, alluminum roof (on some), 20.5 PSI stock with with a taper to 19PSI

03-04s No ACD, No LSD, little weaker tranny (not that bad though), 9.8 hotside, 19PSI stock with a taper to 16PSI

mainly the turbo and the stock PSI is the biggest difference. BUTsome 05s also came with the vortex genorator obviously the MR edition was released as well as the RS and SSL package. dont foget they are all rated at teh same HP but the 05s run more boost and are faster hmmmm ya think mitsu is under rating there cars. not to mention the IX is only rated at 286 TEN hp more than the 05 and it is faster

thanks, I figured that they couldnt be exactly the same because like I said I always read about evo's from years 03-04 then 05 being separte stats and stuff. Oh Emonz sorry about not joining your room you guys invited me to in GOW, a buddy of mine that i have not talked to in over a year just got a 360 and wanted me to play rainbow six with him. Its the only game he bought right now.
