Sure:

Lotus Elise ranges from 10k-11k nm/degree
Miata NC: 8800 nm/dgree
Miata NA & NB: 6000 nm/degree
Alfa 4C: 14,500 nm/degree

And you know what, I confused NC with the latest model (ND). Couldn't find the rigidity numbers on that either, apologize for that. Probably better than 8800, but kind of doubt they've reached the 4C's numbers (I could be wrong though). From various reading the NC was a big jump in rigidity for the Miatas, the ND less so (over the NC), but that's all anecdotal and take my word with a grain of salt
