Keep in mind that the Mazda motor STILL makes significantly less specific power. 90.5 HP/l vs 102.5 HP/l for the twins. Especially for a boxer that's damn impressive. Before 2010 even Porsche didn't have an NA boxer for sale over 100hp/l except for the GT3. If the twins had as much displacement/ton as the Miata they'd have 237hp. Our engine doesn't make that much power, but it sure tries hard!
