The neon ATX is a SLUG!!!! It's a really bad three speed that sucks the life out of the car. I stop-watched my wifes SOHC Neon sedan at like 11.6 seconds to 60.
For comprison sake, on the same stretch of road my mother in laws dohc atx Saturn ran about 10 seconds flat - so it's at least 1.5 seconds slower than a saturn, regardless of wheter the "absolute" elasped time was correct.

If you believe test data: C&D, 12/97

As the owner of a ATX Neon, I would also vote for the turtle!! 
Contour--It will make a master mechanic out of you!
95 LX MTX Bolt-ons
95 Neon SOHC ATX
77 Dodge Powerwagon-more displacement than my Neon, Contour, and wife's Saturn---combined!
