If you're selling anything, I might be interested in trading you my Mazdaspeed3 for your prop plane, but I get the idea that maybe you can't drive stick.
How is this relevant to the argument again? Also - study up on product lineups a bit dude. The standard 3 series is a 328 - which is not paired against the G37, it's paired against the G25. The 335 is paired against the G37, and having driven both, the 335 is the better car. But my opinion doesn't matter, the sales figures do, and neither G is outselling its BMW counterpart.
FYI - I never said I thought the Z had a CVT. I said I didn't realize JATCO was the manufacturer for the 7AT in the Z. Their name gets thrown around a lot where I work because of the abundant transmission failures in CVT powered Nissans across the board. Nissan had to add a warranty to the CVT to retain customers and not scare off potential new ones. Sure they've improved it, but they'll still never be an option in my book. I will never buy another car with one in it.
Also - Downshift Rev Matching and Synchro Rev Match are two different things - SRM works on up and downshift and was NOT invented on any automatic transmission. And you're off by 200 milliseconds. Or did you upgrade yours to a dual-clutch?
BTW - you missed the JX35 on all those test drives you've taken. Your local Infiniti dealer misses you.
Agreed, but Nissan needs to step it up because their competition definitely has.
Go home. You're drunk.

Let's condense this BS down to brass tax. I'm not turnoin' shyt around.

"There has never been a Z with a CVT and their wont be, There has never BEEN an infinti with a CVT either. Unless there's a passenger car for utlility I don't see that happening.*
I've have had borth Altima 2.5 and 2.5 in CVT guise. 3.5 the Altima was too powerful to call it boring, even with a CVT. DRM simulation on the 3.5 also helped. BUT when we are talking 2.5? Yes, the altima was completely dul."
I didn't even think about the JX. I forgot it existed. But bringing up the Jx35 as a symbol of Infiniti failing in the performance sector. Is like me bringing up the Nissan Murano or your favorite company, The Ford edge... What does, A have to do with B.
My TRUE point is the Q50 may not be a popular design right now, But I highly doubt it will not perform well. You claimed early on which started this discussion that they'll probably throw CVT in the Q50. I mentioned the hybrid is being tested with DCT.
You're saying it's a possiblity that the hybrid will come out. I'm saying Infiniti is advertising it as coming out.
You're saying the BMW 3 series has more performance. As it stands right now that's not the case unless you're talking about the 1M and M3.
I don't want your Mazda. I hate torque steer...
Yes, I know how to drive manual. I learned on a ae86 and owned a FD. I have an experience with my FD mods that most can only dream of actually having done. Thanks to mechanic/race car driving family back home that worked on my FD back in the 90's. But thanks for your concern on my knowledge of manual.
So basically, I talked about infiniti not remembering the JX
You talked about jatco not knowing about the 7AT origin.
BS over.
