ND1: > 2018, 2.0L making 155 hp, can be BBR Turbo (and a few others) or Edelbrock SC up to ~225 hp.
ND2: < 2019, 2.0L making 181 hp, currently has NO forced induction options as the ECU was just recently cracked and there are some big fueling issues preventing FI that haven't been resolved yet.

Yeah, the power/acceleration difference between a C5 Z06 and ND2 Miata RF is massive. I'm not overly concerned about power since my M235 is already quite fast and I can't use all that power on the street anyway. The Z06 and my M235 are basically equals power to weight ratio wise. Both will do ~115mph in the 1/4 mile. The ND2 RF Miata 6MT is a mid/low-14 second 96mph car and is as quick as my prior modded 1996 Maxima, my slightly modded 2003 G35 sedan, or my 1994 Z28 auto when stock. Collectively, I was happy driving those cars for over 15 years. Low/mid 14 second cars can we quite fun on the street.
