Sounds at least like it was an exciting race. I haven't gotten to race many srts, but I haven't lost to one in my 01. I have noticed they are a lot like the s2k in the way that some just seem faster then others for no reason. All you can do is work on your shift points and timing. One thing I personally find hard is actually using all 9,000 rpms before shifting. I tend to shift early and not use the cars full potential. Not sure if thats a problem for you.

Ahh, don't worry about that. You missed third, right? Otherwise it would have been a different outcome. Besides, no matter what is under the hood, or how much respect it deserves...its still a shitbox Neon that most likely handles like a tank (if it was a stock suspension).
You drive true sports car, and I could go home happy just knowing that.

2. See #1
3. Your car is convertible
4. See #1 again
5. You just have to learn how to drive/shift/launch
6. See #1 yet again
7. Get a CAI and test pipe, whup him even better next time
8. Dont feel sad for others, we have all spanked an SR-T to make up for it
9-infiniti. See #1 again
You will get him next time

An intake does nothing for an srt. What are you surprised about, the srt will beat a s2k with equal drivers.

well we all know your shifting isn't very good... since you did say you missshifted into 3rd gear the first time around.... so it's your driving that caused you to lose...

sure it will.
Srts are low 14 second cars on average just like an s2000. Let me guess you guys think you run mid 13s stock?
