2. Nissan 350Z

This beautiful sports car offers much more than your standard coupe or roadster. The Nissan 350Z is known for its great drifting capabilities and high speeds of up to 150 miles per hour. It was built to be competitive, and has been seen in several races since its debut in 2002. The two-seat car has several different models available, but underwent many changes in 2006. A rev-up engine, speed sensitive steering and radio-steering controls made it a must have for anyone looking for speed. 2006 models also had a standard 3.5L V6 engine with manual or automatic options. While there are some differences in speed between the different models, most versions of the car are priced just above $10,000.
