how???
the 1997 1.8 liter version had almost the same power as the 1984 944 (136 vs 143), but didn't drag around the extra 800 lbs. it also had modern electronics, which made the power more effective.
miata 0-60 was 7.6. 84 944 was a full second slower.
top speed of the miata was 130. 84 944 was the same.
1/4 mile speeds were 15.9 for the miata and 16.4 for the 944.
miata got 30mpg. 944 got 26.
cornering for the miata is at .90g. .82 for the 944.
same 50/50 weight distribution.
in every way measurable, the miata will spank the 944
that is, until you try to load your groceries
