Uhm, even the first Elise, which had an 88kW 1.8litre Rover K-Series engine, was capable of 13's in the 1/4 mile, mid-high. There's never been an Elise as slow as what you're talking about.
Four or five years ago would be powered by the K-Series 1.8 but at around 116kW, which means consistant 13.5s. Not as fast as the 2ZZ-GE Toyota motor, but still able to hose most V8 Aussie sedans. With 116kW. Ah the joys of power/weight....
