Soooo.... stock for stock civics are slower, and comparable mod work they are slower still.

The civic should be "rivals" with something like a mazda 3 or a camry not a mustang
IMO a wrx is hardly fast on its own. and more inline competition for the civic would be a corolla or sentra, which incidentally both have variants are are widely modified as well.
