Somebody please explain to me WTF is going on in here. I'm lost. Wait. NM I don't care.

Why is my friend Chris trying to convince me to run the Prius at Atco?

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.
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.

I'll take that bet, assuming that is really your moms and therefor stock.
SilverTurboRidin will race you in his mom's SRT-4.

That's not stock, but it's really his moms.
