shifting an automatic is done so it doesn't downshift as soon as it leaves the line. all juiceboxes go 2-1-2-3-4 when racing. if you manually shift it, it should in theory go 1-2-3-4. i personally i never drove a v6 accord hard, but i have driven a 2.3 prelude with an auto pretty hard and manually shifting it helps, but you need to shift early, there's some run out in it where the car doesn't make power. or if you are trying to run a consistant dial-in (since we are talking about racing the 1/4, right?), you can shift straight to d after the first shift.

as for neutral drops, have that tranny fluid changed and you'll see why you don't do that.
