Help Me Out Here

Alright guys here's the deal...I'm not a speed demon...Shoot i barely know about cars and engines. I'm getting into this whole import racer thing now...And i got to be honest it's great.. My question is this...I like the Honda Accord Coupe, But i doubt that i'll be putting NOS or making major engine swaps anytime soon...I'll probably do the basics like changing the exhaust, intake, sparkplugs, etc...Plus putting a kit on it all that..Now here's the thing, should i buy the 4 cylinder manual model and save a bit or go with the 6 cylinder automatic model and go for the extra 50hps.. And then add on the mods? Or should i just go with a Civic all together?
