Probably not. I can't get heat into radials and the Goodyear slicks only weigh 
11 lbs. compared to 16 for A3S05 and 21 for V710. And I asked for the car to be 
geared for 20" diameter rather than 21.3"


"And adding almost 50% more power to an Elan can't be bad
either (how much do you have now, 15HP? ;)"
Optimistic specs for the original twin cam:
105hp std
115 S/E 
126 big valve Weber (Europe only)

Street Prepared could be pushed to around 125. Mine (AP) was giving a corrected 
140. The Zetec is expected to produce 200+.
