For those of you who don't belive that its nothing more than a Toyota Celica GTS engine go to this web site.

What car you talking about? The 2-11 is 252bhp.
The regular Lotus Elise is 190hp which is...a lot.
You have to realize this is not a drag car. It's a sports car.
As a Boxster owner, you should understand this better than anyone.
