Good kill? Hardly. Auto tCs are slugs...even more so from a roll. They run mid-high 16s in the 1/4 mile.
"Only 163lbs of tq?" Find me another naturally aspirated 2.4l 4cylinder engine which makes more/comparable tq, then talk. The only one i can think of is the K24 found in the TSX which makes 166lbs tq. Try not to forget that the tC makes about 50lbs more tq than an EX civic.
Here are the the numbers for the 05' SE-R Spec-V. This I would say is a good example of N/A high power output. Significantly more impressive IMO.
Standard Engine 2.5L I4 Standard Transmission 6 Speed Manual Cylinders 4 Horsepower 175@6000 RPM Torque 180@4000 RPM

This is ridiculous. Your ideology of a better car from the factory is always better than a lower car is bull. My years growing up reading and hearing about cars have always involved "commuter" engines as you put it taking on stronger, performance oriented cars. That's the whole point!!!
Hence the ever so popular B16 and B18 engines. You can't deny that those engines modified became much faster than many cars on the road. Is it wrong to be happy about modifying a B18 to be faster than a stock Corvette? Now just take this in terms of the 7thgen civics.

Firstly, there's a big difference between B-series engines and the d-series engine. Would you be so kind as to show me how you would go about building up a 7thgen civic with its 1.7l engine to outperform .... lets say.... a stock corvette z06?
Is it possible to build a D17 to outperform a stock RSX Type S? Yes. And if they race each other and the Civic wins, do you still say that the Civic should have lost because it's an econo car. I know the D17 did not have as much potential as the B series, or maybe just not enough R&D yet. The point is that you can't deny that a person may have a faster car after modification, just because it's an econo. If the car beats a corvette (who said Z06) or RSX or whatever that was meant to be faster from the factory, I give props for the guy.
This auto tc vs civic stick is a whole different matter though.
