I think the Z does pretty good. CBE, HFC, intakes, and tune can easily be 30+ whp.

Mazda needs to fix the gas guzzling on that engine and pop out a new RX-7, perhaps with a turbo to start, just so they can compete in that market. I already admire the Miata and MS3 for what they bring in their respective segments. But Mazda needs a fire-breathing beast again.
