The old legends are quick, but the Crx should have it....
I would also say check your clutch. Theres a way to tell... Park somewhere safe, put the car in 5th gear, and rev to about 4grand. Dump the clutch. If its good, the car will buck and stall out immediatley. If its bad, you'll feel the motor bog down from the clutch slipping. Kinda like the feeling when you accidentally shift from 2nd to 5th......Not that I know what thats like

actually, hondas can live through mis shifts. my brother has a 91 STD hatch, D15B1, it smoked like crazy, so he purposly tried to blow it up.
He'd go through first, go throgh second to redline, then rev it up, and SLAM it back into first. the tach would jump around to about 9,000, and the engine didn't blow. I figured it woud've exploded right then and there, but it didnt. It did however blow up a couple days later, but it ran good up until then and started knocking while he was driving a long trip. Just goes to show you that even the shittiest honda engine can take a hell of a beating. BTW, the people that had the car before him was getting rid of it, so they thought it would be funny to put a brick on the gas pedal until the car blew. well it didnt blow obviously, but it rev limited until it shut itself down. my brothe rput oil in it, and it started right up.

it means your clutch is slipping, but from what you said I don't think its your clutch, because you said it takes off fine, but once it hits 4k rpms it looses its power right? If it was your clutch, it would have done the opposite, it will take it awhile for it to finally catch and then take off.

Yeah there's definitely something wrong with your CRX. I have raced against Legends myself, and my CRX owns them big time, at ANY speeds. You should have toasted him, are you SURE he was stock, especially seeing as his being on 19's would have slowed him down too.
