so i was checkin out the specs on the new accords and civic si's 2day and saw the accord comes: 268-hp, 3.5-Liter, 24-Valve, SOHC i-VTEC® V-6 Engine and the civic si comes with: 197 hp, 2.0-Liter, DOHC i-VTEC® 4-Cylinder Engine...and ther both 6spd manual......but why getta civ si over an accord? is the civic jus more mod friendly?

seeing as they are both obd2 the ecu's in them aren't very mod friendly in both which is why people who have them usually upgrade their ecu's using hondata/k-pro

and a reason i see civics being more popular than accords is because the civics were marketed for the younger enthusiasts (2 or 4 door sports car), whereas the accord is geared more toward the older people (mid size vehicle).
