The biggest kicker for me and what you will notice is how much fwd/rwd effects handling.
Trying to power out of a corner with fwd is horrible, you lose so much power around turns because the car simply cant put it down. Rwd is SOOO much more smooth and you can really power yourself out of corners and through them.
You also dont get any of that terrible torque steer.
Despite almost 1000 pounds of weight difference, no one who knows their stuff would actually take an SI(stock) over even a 2010 V6 Camaro(stock) around a road course or track. The difference between fwd and rwd for handling is that serious.
Good luck getting your car! I think youll be extremely happy even if you get the 6 over your SI.

The only FWD car I would ever own would be a Prelude Type-SH with torque vectoring ATTS......
