The two decades between designs, the four more cylinders and a contact patch nearly four times larger notwithstanding... I'd ~still~ have confidence in the Elan if it were an autocross contest. Mebbe even a tight road course.

I think it could be tough and come down to the drivers. I've seen some very well sorted Elan's make quick work of other more powerful cars on short tracks. Plus they can have a wicked power to weight ratio. But then, all of that also applies to the TR8. Regardless, it would be fun to watch. And for the record Doc, I expected you to stick with favorin' the Elan. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
