Power/weight ratios tell you absolutely nothing about how fast a car is...actuall acceleration numbers do. There is no Elise or Exige which has come from the factory anywhere near as fast as a Viper.

The early Elise models were very slow. They fell flat on their face after about 80 MPH. The flagship supercharged versions are quick, but by no means "fast" in any stretch of the imagination in terms of acceleration.
