RE: SRT-4 shifting.
practice... lettin off on the clutch w/o gas on your take-off. if, you do it right, it wont stall your car out. then you'll see where your "sweet-spots" at. if im not racing, my shift are between 3300-3600 rpm's; and no 'baby burnt outs'. Also, practice ya down-shift... 
you'll love the PoPPin sound as well it helps the car slow down, less brake applied, and less stress on the 2.4L...
Right now im practicing my Leftfoot Bracking. Is pretty difficult and akward.
Peace

Yeah that's me, I'm a racer. I just suck though. So I'm a very low-level racer x;P. I can go VERY fast on straights though!! Isn't that impressive? I have a lead foot on the gas it seems. I'm horrid at starting..that's really my only downside. My shifting is fine, now that I'm used to what RPM's to shift at in my SRT-4, but I still start with a jerk. For some reason, I wish gas pedals were stiffer. Every car that I've driven has had such easy gas. I feel asthough my foots weight alone is too much even haha. The clutch on the SRT-4 is really nice though. It's very light, which makes it easy to change from clutch to gas (aslong as it's not from a stand still to driving, but that's just because I suck at it =P)
Perhaps I should think of a new starting technique, because it's embarrassing to jerk when starting and make your wheels screetch haha. I do like "baby burnouts" constantly, it's ridiculous -.0. Even in a civic I did it, haha.
