The base model comes with a 115 horsepower 1.6-liter OHC 16V incline 4-cylinder engine that will take you from 0-60 mph in 8.5 seconds...
Now I realize that there may be variations. But, generally speaking the 06 Civic is .5 seconds quicker to 60, plus or minus .5 second. And, it has 25 more HP. I wouldn't exactly call that "much faster." My final point is that before the 2006 models, the highest horsepower Civic EX had 127hp which would mean that yes, most Civics are slower than the MC.
Unless of course you're talking about the Civic SI. In which case its not a fair comparison because then you should be comparing it to an MCS. That would be like comparing a VW GTI to a Civic EX rather than a Civic SI.

And when I'm on my bike, I resent all car owners! Don't get me wrong, I love my MINI, but if less people drove and more biked, we'd all be healthier and save money! I'm not a super-fit 20 year old, either, so if I can bicycle commute 26 miles a day, anyone can.
