He just asked a simple question. Besides a 5 speed Civic of that year does 0-60 in 8.5 seconds. Edmunds tested the 4 banger auto 2002 Altima and got 8.7 (some have gotten 8.42). So it would defintely not get raped (maybe in the long run). A good driver will prevail against the Civic. Any other Altima either would beat to a pulp or "rape" the same Civic.
