Elio Addict
If its got an engine and wheels, people are going to race it. With its low entry cost, I think the Elio has the potential to develop into a whole new class(es) of racing. Probably road racing (a curvy track or autocross), not on ovals.
So what might an Elio racing machine look like to you? Not considering an engine swap at the moment, I can imagine it might be something like this:
* A turbo
* Stiffer springs, and lowered a little
* Slicks on the front drive wheels, stock or widened fairings
* Front end spoiler (splitter)
* Gutted/lightened interior
* Removed non-essentials: A/C
Which transmission will be faster?
