Default 96 Miata - replacing timing belt

Is a 1996 Mazda Miata one of those zero clearance cars where if the timing
belt breaks it will do damage to the rods / pistons? Is anyone aware of
that? I was told by a friend that certain cars (and he called them zero
clearance) will do damage to the rods / cylinders if you don't change the
timing belt and it breaks. Thanks for any help.

Brian
