Top Gear did a story on the 2ZZ-GE Elise in early June. Very entertaining to watch. They get an Apache gunship to try to get missile lock on it. 
Fifth Gear also pitted it against that little Opel Roadster thing. There's a great site with a heap of Fifth Gear and Top Gear torrents that someone posted up here a while ago, for those that are interested in watching.
From what I've heard, the gearing is all wrong in the Corolla and Celica. It actually drops out of the 6,200rpm+ band when changing gears.
The Lotii have a completely different set of gears which keep it in the power. They've also been tuned differently and have a different exhaust (of course).
Part of the reason it was chosen was because it would meet future Californian emmisions laws as well as the current...
Most reports I've heard about the 2ZZ-GE say that it's like driving an '80s turbo engine with a massive kick once the variable lift comes on.
Sounds like fun! 
As for the straight line stuff, it's never gonna really impress, it's a high revving 1.8L. Straight line needs torque, especially low down.
