But were you going slower?
Did you actually look at the speedo to compare speed at various places
along the same test drive route? (Then you get to figure out how much
of any speed difference may be due to those high performance tires you
put onto your Accord vs. the lousy tires on the Camry.)

Neither the Accord or Camry is especially sporty but you might see a
6-speed in the Accord I4 if Honda decides to standardize 6-speed
manuals.
