Has anyone here that is F/I thought about doing a CVT transmission (nissan has a couple in their VQ powered suv's, maybe they'd bolt up?) into their Z. I think it'd be a highly fabricated project, however i think in terms of drag racing it would be very benificial to a F/I Z/G. Since there is no shifting with a CVT tranny, you would not lose any boost at anypoint during the 1/4 mile. It would hold at a steady boost the whole time...in theory. The CVT transmissions are also said to be very strong and able to withstand quite a bit of power.

Think about it, starting from the launch you would have full boost the whole 1/4 mile, no lost boost from shifting...

what'd you think?
