Default Accord feels faster than Civic.

I own a k24a4 powered accord 2003, pretty much all stock and I was wondering why it feels faster than my civic with a b16a3. They have nearly the same horsepower but the tq difference is way different, and the civic is a gutted eg chassis. Would this be torque i'm feeling?

You feel torque.

A low torque, higher revving car, doesn't pull particularly hard, it just keeps pulling for a longer duration.
