there is, but it has a more mild cam and makes less power.

Just curious, not trying to bash...why you want automatic??

Added: Only way I'd be "talked into" getting automatic trans is if a doctor tells me I can only keep driving (with an automatic). There was a "feature" on a newer Civic with a GSR motor and they found a GSR automatic transmission (JDM) somewhere. I think the mag was Sport Compact or Super Street I can double check if you want.......

automatics are great for turbo, better than sticks w/ turbo in alot of cases

i dont know if you had a turbo car with a tranny built by level ten i think you could have more consistant times than you could in a 5 speed. I know everyone thinks 5 speed is great and I do too but automatics do make more consistant times because drive is going to make less error.
