what exactly do you want to know? what do you want out of the car? how much do you want to spend? what are your plans for the car?

i have a 98 sport shift and i love it. i some times want a 5 speed but ss is like that almost.

the SS is nice, but nothing beats a true 5-speed.

If you want to go turbo get a 4th gen. They have a closed deck engine, whereas the 5th gen has an open deck. Performance wise they are about equal with a slight edge going to 4th gens especially moded because they are OBD I. I also like that the 4th gen vtecs come with leather. But it is extremely hard to find a 4th gen vtec in good condition. If you can find one jump all over it.
