Not quite. The Elise generates a bit of "downforce". To some people, it doesn't sound like much, but it's a lot more than most any other car on the road that generates many lbs of lift instead.
The stock Elise generates around 4.5 lbs of "downforce" at the rear and around 8.5 in the front at 100 MPH. The Exige 48 and 42 lbs of "downforce" at the same speed.
