The CVT is just fine for my 2.5 Altima, but I would not want one in my Z. It is really a disconnected driving experience.

Although, I do wonder at times why the little 2.5 Altima engine does just fine on the highway at 75 MPH barely turning 2,000 RPMs, while the Z is closer to 2,500 RPMs. With the extra power of the 370 it would have been nice for that extra gear in the AT to be more of an overdrive for better mileage.
