Definitely the Maxima. I have an auto '96. I raced a newer style Civic 5spd with i/e/h awhile back. I had ypipe, intake, and exhaust. We raced a number of time, each time I won, wasn't even close actually. The guy just kept asking for more even though I clearly beat him two or three times in a row. I didn't even manually shifted it, just left it in Drive. Futhermore, my car wasn't running right at the time either. That was before I changed my fuel filter, knock sensor, PCV valve, and spark plugs, basic tuneup stuff. So if I could beat the guy with those problems, just imagine if my car was running right. 
The maxima should win. A 94 civic, let's say its an SI with the stock engine in there and then the bolt ons you mentioned, is at best a 15.7 car. The maxima should be in low 15s if he gets a good launch.

The Maxima will win.
Just make sure you get off the line w/o spin.
When I had my 99 Max, I use to race my friend from college everyday on the way home. At that time, I had VB mod, Y-pipe, CAI, & 100 shot (I never needed to spray on him). He had a 2K Si w/ intake, header, & catback. He never had enough to pull past me. Around 80mph or so I would pull an extra car or two on him.
He is nothing unless he has a swapped motor.

Like I said above, if its an SI (lighter than my EX with the same motor) and minor mods it could be a 15.7 second car with a good driver.

Since you can get about 6 different engines in 94 civics, you can't really generalize what they run. 16-20 seconds is the range.

I think I speak for everybody out here when I say Neal is full of it. A stock 95 civic will no way in hell run 16.2.

You got me. I'm full of it. Not like I have 120 1/4 mile passes in the last year alone or anything. I have no clue about drag racing. Please forgive me.
