Everyone assumes "race" means quarter mile. I'm not really concerned with quarter mile timeslips. I'm talking about your autocross/road course style of driving. An Accord is not going to out handle a GT, it's FWD with a soft suspension and not nearly enough tire underneath it.
Quite simply the Accord is a family sedan with a nice engine and a couple of missing doors while the GT is a sports car. I don't want a family sedan, so from this list I'd go with the GT.
P.S. S2k's get stomped on by stickshift V6 Altimas in a straight line if you care about such matters.
