I drove a Miata on the Lime Rock skid pad as part of a training session and was amazed how much fun it was to drive and how much control I had. My last two BMWs have been 3 series with automatic transmission, and the Miata with manual was a blast to drive. It’s moderate power is part of what makes it a little more challenging to get the most out of the car, and for a 17 year old coming up it seems like it would be a great choice. The extra power of the Z06 could make him lazy about learning new skills because the power overcomes (or complicated) skill issues.
