Hmmm, the Accord V6 should probably win towards the end due to its higher torque. But then again, the Accord V6 is also monstrously heavy.

Looking at the horsepower to weight ratio, a V6 6spd 2008 Accord coupe would easily beat a stock Civic Si (sedan or coupe). As long as the driver didn't totally suck

HP/weight ratios:
Civic Si Coupe: 0.06847410497
Accord V6 6spd Coupe: 0.07777132907
So if the Accord weighed the same as the civic, but retained the same hp/weight ratio, the Accord would have 223.75 hp.

if its any consellation, ive driven my neighbors 08 acc v6 manny, and an 08 civic si coupe, and the accord feels muchhhh faster, not so great in the handling dept. though.
