They weigh more and make similar power so the Altima would win everytime. Only advantage the Accord has is off the line because of much better tires.
The accord is not hiding anything(there is nothing to hide). No mods are out yet for the new accord unless you had a custom exhaust done which dexion said he didnt have. It runs 14.0-14.2 @101-102MPH just like the altimas can(accord traps a little higher). Its a great drivers race with your altima. Weight doesn't seem to be as much of a factor with the comparison it seems. Dexion had a passenger which made the weight of the cars close to equal and he still lost by a decent margin. Also the tires suck on the accord! Just because they are bigger doesn't mean they are better. I had the same tires on my accord V6. Those are the Michelin pilot MXM4. Its a all season tire with a high treadwear rating(terrible grip). Meant for comfort and not performance. All of us accord guys complain since that was the stock tire for our vehicle.

The good thing is Dexion will get to run the accord guy again. Good luck on your next race and I am curious to hear the results without a passenger.
