I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

What are you trying to do with it? Road Race, Drag Race, Both? If you plan on making a drag car the auto tranny is going to be a good idea if you want to get a turbo on it and just floor it. If you want a road race car then the control over the car with a manual tranny is a better idea.

Yes, it's worth the swap. I've done them myself and I can honestly say you can get it done in a weekend. Nothing too hard about it, just a bitch to get the clutch pedal in (tight space). Look at Neons.org - The best neon site on the net! there's plenty of atx to mtx swap info on there.
