Mmm...at 50, I would have put in 2nd, my car pulls decent til just before rev limiter. Had you started in 3rd you might have hung with the mustang for awhile. You should have put it in 3rd before you honked, then you would have had it in the sweetspot. If I start in the wrong gear...such as 5th or even 4th at that speed, its like you're towing a bunch of weights behind you. It goes...but very slowly.

agreed. According to the neon manual book the best times to shift are 1st 30mph, 2nd 60mph, 3rd 80mph, 4th 110mph, and then 5th is well...can't really go that fast lol. And yeah, I would downshift before the beeps.
