1) It's an Elan
2) The NSX and MR2 aren't small cars. Personally I think the Elan Sprint could beat them on many of the autocross circuits I have seen because it is so tiny. And surprisingly, the power to weight ratio between them isn't very different. Infact the power/weight of an Elan is marginally higher than that of a Revision 4 MR2 Turbo Jap-spec. Of course, introduce a straight into the equation and the MR2 would easily be the victor.

I've been in a large variety of Elans and a few MR2s, ranging from N/A standards to Tuned R4 Turbos and I can happily say that the Elan completley blitzes it in the corners and in low-end acceleration.
