There is an old saying in car racing that if you ain cheatin you ain tryin If the 2009 370Z is any indication, Nissan has been doing a lot of the second, so you can do a little bit of the first.

The latest Z starts by bucking auto industry convention, coming in smaller and  Monster Beats Solo HD      lighter than the car it replaces, the 6-year old 350Z. It does this through the extensive use of aluminum and composite materials for the body and various structural components, even shedding a few pounds from the stereo system.

Nissan did have the good sense to make the 370Z wider, ostensibly for better handling, but also creating one of the finest looking booties in the business. The muscular haunches look ready to burst, and are a good indication of what under the hood.

In spite of the diet that the rest of the car went on, Nissan boosted the power of the 370Z with an updated version of the company glorious V6. Now measuring 3.7 liters in displacement, it spins out 332 horsepower, up from 306 hp. More important, the thrust is doled out more evenly across the engine rev range. A good portion of the 270 pound-feet of torque is served up down low, but the motor can still scream to a 7,500 rpm redline accompanied by a deep and raspy exhaust note that could front AC/DC.

The 370Z gets a drive-by-wire throttle that is as responsive as a trombone slide,   Monster Beats Solo
    making it easy to make beautiful music, if you happen to be in a marching band. Befitting the progeny of a legendary line of sports cars, the accelerator and other pedals are placed perfectly for heel-and-toe downshifting of the quick, short-throw 6-speed manual transmission. Ironically, it is a detail you can live without, because the Z has an option that makes this ancient skill of footwork completely irrelevant.

Appropriately called SynchroRev Match, the unique system automatically blips the throttle as you shift into a lower gear, matching revs perfectly without causing any shock or shudder in the drivetrain. A skilled driver could do it as well, perhaps, but no better, and not every single time. During lap after lap of the road course at Raceway Park in New Jersey I tried to find its weakness, but to no avail. Even fourth to first shifts under extreme braking were handled without a fuss.

SynchroRev Match comes bundled with a Sport package that adds $3,000 to the base price of $29,930 and includes bigger brakes, a limited-slip differential, lightweight 19-inch alloy wheels with assymetrical spokes, and spoilers that grace the car with slipperier aerodynamics than the base model. Diehards will scoff at the idea of such a feature being included as part of an enthusiast-oriented package like this, and for them there is a button that turns the system off.   http://www.beatsmonstersaustralia.com/   Trust me, if they happen to turn it on by accident they may never press it again.

The feature is no gimmick, and is a much simpler and cheaper solution to making a manual transmission more user friendly than many of the fully-automated gearboxes out there today, including the dual-clutch unit on Nissan's technological wonder, the GT-R. I'm sure there are thousands of engineers and shade tree mechanics around the world kicking themselves for not patenting the idea first.
