Exactly my point, ahm13. RX-7 was primarily built for such purposes (Performance) whereas Civic was sort of compact family sedan, so yes, its like Mehran/Cultus vs Civic.
Secondly, man, RX-7 runs a rotor engine (I think you are unaware of this fact, which is no more than 300cc less than the SOHC engine in the Civic) and has a twin turbo configuration, I am not sure if a Civic can handle a RX-7 at all on stock. Infact, its not even close, RX-7 won't even let the civic grab its dust. It'll cross you as if you're standing still although your Civic would be trying its best to keep up..
