Just curious, why didn't Nissan use CVT on Z?

You mean to tell me no one replaces 'normal' Auto Tranny's? Nobody experiences Auto tranny failures on any other vehicle?

Here is my track record: I have an 08 Altima with the CVT. I love the smooth quite non-bumpy ride when I am just taking a "family" ride somewhere, or stuck driving in heavy traffic. If you've never experienced a CVT going up a steep upgrade with no shifting, abrupt bucking, and gear hunting, then you don't know the CVT's merits.

And, since I don't abuse it, I've not had to do anything on it but change the fluid at the regular maintenance intervals.

I also have an '05 Titan, and its the 'normal' auto tranny. I have had no issues with it either, and it is fun to drive too.

..and last but not least, I bought my 370Z with a manual tranny for the sportiness and the thrill. Each vehicle has its own prupose and mission, and I love driving them all.
