Default CVT 350Z??

Well I was looking around the area for a 350Z to buy, found this at one of the dealership.

I'd be curious what a CVT 350 would sound like - my bet is like a speed-boat. The revs would rise - you'd hear the exhaust - then it would just hang there (rev-wise) and accelerate.

Not saying that it would be better in any way as compared to listening to the revs rise-and-fall, but interesting non the less.

I also have an '09 Murano - but the exhaust (and for that matter - the intake too) is near silent.

I've always thought Muranos sounded a lot like the stock 350z

Also - doesnt the Z have too much power for a CVT anyways?

The Infiniti FX35 sounds like the stock 350z. The Murano is much quieter....

Unsure about the power handling of the CVT. I can speak to it's efficiency - getting @23mpg w/the Murano. And MOST of that is putting around town...

Because they already sold all the good ones and your'e sifting through left overs. Mt's get better mpg than At's.
