The weight alone gives the SI an extreme advantage. Also the SI puts more power to the ground, and its gear ratios as spaced a lot closer, which increase acceleration and top speed.
That being said, buy the car that you like. The SI is nothing to sneeze at, but its not exactly winning trophies or setting land speed records.
The two cars are totally different. If you want an edgy, younger performance/trackish feel, get the SI. If you want something sporty, but comfortable and less in your face, get the Accord.
And if you want to smoke both of them, while leaning back driving with one hand and drinking a coke in the other, buy a V6 Accord, put coilovers on it, get a short throw shift kit, intake, tanabe exhaust, twin turbo, front mount intercooler, racing clutch, 18 inch wheels.
Ok so you'll have to wait 3-5 years for all that stuff to be available, but when it is, you'll be pimping i
