Sure. Can I use 2nd gear or should I use 4th to make it fair?

Neon's have a 4th gear?
Wow, dodge sure thought people were gonna move in those things.

Second Gen Neons suck, Tan.
 Of course I knew that! Drexel MechE NERD ALERT! It's clubwrx.net all over again!

It's funny you should mention that, because the automatics are dogs due to the THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION!!! The MTs are five speeds, and therefor far less slow.

Come on Jim, you should know this...
Torque Converters rob a lot of power. MT's don't have a torque converter, so more power to the wheels.
Then you look at gearing. AT's are typically taller to account for less gears.
My rental Neon SXT has a 4-speed automatic
