I would suspect that the tires on that Elan are not hooking up or that car is not really putting out 235hp. My friend had a Cosworth Elan with a 250hp and modern tires, it would suck the doors off an Elise (by at least three+ car lengths) and once we nearly drove over an F430 that was under hard acceleration. We estimated 0-60 to be in the mid/high 3's and the car was never running right.
