An Accord with an H22 and a manual should be able to best the SiR. Along with that comes better stability and a more comfortable ride. With the 6th gen Accord, you get ABS with the brakes.

According to family experience, the 7th gen Accord 2.4 (K24A4) with 5 speed A/T gives better acceleration from startup, with similar top end speed (albeit at very much different rpms). Both have 160bhp, after all. This one's much more stable at top speed though.

A family friend's K20 Civic (5AT with paddle shifters) was able to hold its own against our Accord 3.0V6 in an impromptu 0-140km/h sprint at NLEX. It was actually quicker off the line probably courtesy of paddle shifters , with the Accord V6 only creeping away when nearing the triple digits. Definitely able to give the SiR a serious run for its money.
