I did the math.

Going by the rumored specifications, the 155 HP ND should be a tad faster than the 167 HP NC2, which is about as fast as the FT86 (though many think the NC2 is underrated).
Do you mean that the FR-S is about as fast as the 2016 or the 2015 Mazda? I test drove both the 2015 FR-S and the Miata MX-5 almost back to back last September, on the same day. There was no doubt in my mind that the FR-S had better acceleration and more power than the 2015 Mazda. It also handled better.

Clarification, please!
