I'm thinking closer in overall character to the 350Z than any Miata/MX5, though still slightly bigger and heavier. In 1LE trim I'd expect the V6 6th gen to close the gap in terms of "feel" somewhat.

Any of today's ~300 HP sports cars, sporty cars, and sport sedans would be in the thick of the street performance scene if you could somehow teleport them back to, say, 1968. Trust me on this, the original muscle cars and the more powerful ponycars were loud, rude and kind of crude, and not all that fast by today's standards.
