Im about to buy a Honda Civic and was wanting to make it fast. Not for racing, just for fun. I will be buying one anywhere from 95 - 2000. I have found the Si model is the fastest but I dont want manual. What is the fastest Civic model that is an automatic. Also, I plan on putting a turbo in it.

You can't turbo an automatic Honda. The transmissions just can't take boost. Best you can go for is a 96-00 Civic EX. That will have vtec and be auto.

VTEC is just a different style of cams and rockers. You can have an auto or manual VTEC engine. You can turbo either of them. Turbo makes both faster.

EX and Si models, typically. There's like an HX model that's a 3 stage vtec for fuel economy, but the EX and Si ones are the ones you want.
