Ahh the ricer flyby. Chances are the civic had a little work done to it and was in 4th, possibly 3rd depending on the gearing. If you had dropped it to 4th (which would have put you right at the saab turbo powerband, ~3500 rpm), you probably would have held your own. The typical ricer is no match for a moderately modified c900 turbo (like my 85) - having one pull up to a 9k or 9-5 aero is a "don't make me laugh" moment for sure :) The biggest downfall of the c900 is the top end at stock fueling and moderate boost...it just sort of runs out of legs as many people on this board know. Hey, look at it this way, it's an excuse to squeeze some more power out of your SPG :)
Have a good one
