Default b20vtec motor just handed me my **** last night

Just got my Stg II setup completed and was out looking for someone to run me As a stock looking WRX wagon, it was hard to get ppl to take me seriously. That is until I ran into this CRX si...
This thing was a total sleeper. if it wasn't for the exhaust and the gauges in the cockpit, no one would've given it a second look.

I asked the guy if he wanted to run at the light and he agreed. I had him followed me out to the city limits to avoid traffic. Results:

From the dig: I got the jump on him with the brake torque while he spun out but he pulled next to me near the end of second gear. by the end of second my stock turbo was peaked out and his vtec kicked in pulling 1 car ahead. It stayed that length til the end of third when my turbo was flat again and his vtec pulled another car length. We went to 100. Lost by 1- 1 1/2 car length.

From 5 mph roll: Managed to hold him til around 50 then he put his front bumber ahead me. Again, near the end of 3rd around 80mph he put a car length on me. Not as bad as from the dig?

From 40 mph roll: Same result

WTF happened? Are those all motor CRX swap that good? or is it cuz my setup sucked and I need to shoot my wife for wanting a auto? After the race I HAD to ask him what he had. All he told me was that he swapped for a B20 with a B16vtec head or something. Thats all I know since he wouldn't pop the hood.

A VTEC handed me my **** today. I have a bruised ego now and am not looking forward to racing the S2000 this weekend

Sorry if I sound like a noob on this board. Its my first time on here and I figured i'll get some feedback from experts like you. Thanks!

Edit: I have a Cobb stg II 02 WRX auto: EM, Uppipe and stealthback

A B20vtec CRX should be a high 12 second car.
