CVT Transmission

also it seems CVT transmissions cannot handle too much torque and are very delicate. if you want smoothness and comfort you should've bought a lexus. oh wait, their throttle sticks. ok, go with a cadillac

The 370z's beautiful styling and feel more than make up for the "shifting bumps." As I said before, it's actually good in a way as it enables you to feel in touch with the car's performance.
My question is answered. Primary reason CVT transmission is not for the Z is that it can't handle the torque of the Z's power and is not as exciting.
