Don't get an Auto!!! After you post here for a while, we'll make you regret getting the auto . You'll also regret NOT getting the VTEC model. I kinda do, but they didn't come in blue, so I win that way.

That said, look under the car for a rear anti-sway bar. VTEC models are only 94-97. Look under the hood for a strut tower bar. Look under the front for a VTEC Performace Bar. 93-95 Si's have the fat five spoke alluminum wheels with satin finish. 94-95 VTEC models have the painted silver, thin, 5 spoke wheels with polished lip. 96 and 97 Si's AND VTEC's both have the thin spoke wheel that the 94-95 VTEC's have and also the VTEC suspension with rear swaybar etc. VTEC models have bigger brakes than the Si.

Redline on 94-95 = 8250. 96-97 = 8000
