Over the years, Mazda has been well known for making overstated claims

wondering if the 2006 model really belts out 170 HP as they claim. I
would like to hear from mechanically knowledgeable people on this
subject. Thanks for any info.
Well, I don't know about the absolute number but I'm willing to
believe that (a) this Miata makes about 20% more power than the
preceeding 1.8L models and (b) this probably equates to about 130hp
on a rear-wheel dyno.
Which would be about 156bhp for normal RWD coastdown losses. Hmmm.
