Not to nitpick, but these two statements don't match. The first statement implies:
ND > NC2 = FT86
But your second statement clearly shows:
FT86 > ND > NC2
I don't really care either way and until someone actually tests the Miata, this is all just useless conjecture, but just thought I'd point out why others might not be following your logic.
FWIW I agree with you that just looking at peak HP and curb weight is over-simplistic. Torque under the curve and gearing matter, as well as drivetrain losses, aero, etc.
