A peppy V6 engine combined with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel-drive makes for a throwback that can improve your skills.
I tested a $37,605 50th Anniversary edition of the Nissan 370Z.
But if you simply desire a solid rear-wheel-drive two-door with a robust V6 and a slick-shifting six-speed manual, the roughly $38,000 Nissan 370Z 50th Anniversary Edition is absolutely, positively your bag. The 911, the 370, and the Mazda Miata are the three automobiles that I always feel utterly confident driving at their limits in the real world. I have to drop the Miata from that trio because its four-cylinder engine gives up so much power. That leaves me with the Porsche and the Nissan, and honestly, it all depends on which car I last drove as to choosing the one I love most.
The racing heritage is meaningful. For me, the 370Z is one of those cars that makes for an ideal weekend track warrior platform. It's relatively cheap, but its 3.7-liter V6, making 332 horsepower with 270 pound-feet of torque, is bulletproof. The six-speed manual transmission is smooth shifting, the clutch is crisp without being heavy, the steering is purposeful, and the car is nicely balanced but with a distinct preference for oversteer .
