That's right, and the point behind the PPF is to make the car feel more responsive under acceleration.
Because the diff is solidly mounted to the engine via the PPF torque is transferred directly to it, rather than through the engine mounts -> then through the chassis -> then through the diff mounts.
The Haynes can make do without the PPF as it's going to be pretty blooming responsive anyway weighing half what the MX5 does!
Plus not using it means less weight, and more bits to sell on ebay
