I'm assuming you mean the new model SRs vs the old LC GTs?
The LC GTs have no power mods, about 104hp. They have a 'sport tuned suspension' and some other stuff like alloys and fog lights
The engine in the new Accent is 110hp, but the car is about 120lb heavier so it's not any faster. The SR however has a cold air intake to go with the modded suspension and brakes, so I'd expect they have a BIT more power over stock, or at least better throttle response.

The MC Accent (including the SR) has better gear ratios for acceleration than the LC2 (including the GT). MC's are a bit quicker than LC2's.
