Faster than most stock civics. 170 hp is for the low-end ones. So compare that to a 2004 DX Civic or something, not against a turboed b16 swap, or even an Si.
Plus, since it's Chevy, there will most likely be a good amount of quality mods fairly quickly. Most of my Chevy experience is with trucks, but in that department at least, the companies that make Chevy mods don't fuck around. Since this is their new baby, they'll probably take the same kind of interest in aftermarket performance parts.
170hp is a damn good starting point for a cheap compact.
I won't be trading in my Civic anytime soon, but I'm looking forward to racing a few of these things.
