It all depends what mods you put in the engine you can have a 4speed with a ton of engine mods and can be just as nice as your 3 speed auto.

lol, well i'd take my three speed over a 4 speed anyday... and its not cuz its what i have (cough airwolf cough). Mainly because its proven to hold more power than the 4.

Really doesnt matter to me I think my 4 speed is pretty peppy and thats all that matters. I love auto the next auto I would love to get is a charger srt8 or just and r/t still faster than most neons .

Very true Airwolf. I have a friend who has an 05 SXT like mine except its a manual. After a few races (when we were both stock) I could pretty much stay with him in my auto and over all he would gain at most 2 car lengths. Well, he got a Ebay CAI before I did and put it on and completely dragged me...I'm talkin 6 or 7 car lengths. No, I'm not exaggerating either. That **** sounds mean as hell too. Now that I got the same CAI as he did, we're pretty much the same except that he still has the manual advantage.

RE: Automatic Transmission
A few more car lengths is only a fraction of a second in a quarter mile. If you gain 5 horse power and 5 ftlb of torque from a CAI that's abouta 5% increase which issignificant. That can cut a half second off your quarter mile.
