The peppy 3.5 liter V6 engine in the 2006 Nissan 350Z pulls hard thanks to 260 lb.-ft. of torque and 300 horsepower. Add in a tight short-throw six-speed transmission and you have a combination that gives the 350Z an advantage in its class. Despite a stiff clutch, our test car was a pleasure to drive. Our grand touring model was equipped with Brembo brakes and Vehicle Dynamic Control. The Nissan 350Z offers up enough zip to grab that tight spot in traffic or attack the hairpin corner on your favorite canyon road, instilling a confidence only delivered by true sport cars.
