are there any significant differences from the 2005 to 2007 like better turbo, internals, trans, anything like that? my buddy who was an STI guy said 05 is one of the best years because of the adjustable transfer case.

2007's have longer gears so they can run the 1/4 with 1 less shift, I believe the fastest magazine tested stock STI is 06 though and the fastest stock turbo STI is an 06. 05 is considered the best year by many people, it's very similar to the 06's except the body style. All STI's have DCCD's which is what I think your friend is talking about, 05's are more rear wheel bias compared to newer years.

If you have not already looked at this check it out. The Used STi Buyer's Guide

Also for 05 being FTW.
What is your favorite year
