Bone stock the Esprit V8 will edge out an Elise SC at ~4.3 sec 0-60 (my testing), ~10.3 0-100.
Turn up the boost a bit and it's faster by a wide margin.

On the track, with repeated flogging, the Exige will most certainly be more reliable and you won't really have to worry about breaking anything. The Esprit will hang with it, but I'd be worried about the gearbox taking as much a beating.
An Esprit with a revised gearset and a bit more boost is another matter entirely and should do everything the Exige does, about as well.
