How do you like that constant velocity transmission? I thought it was a cool idea no idea if it ever worked well or not.

I don't know, I just put it into drive. It might be though because the acceleration is really smooth, which I assume is a feature of CVT. Nevertheless, it is a big fat heavy boat.

Yeah it is a family man's car but I read it has like 100 gears in the transmission and makes it accelerate really smooth and was told it has very good acceleration for a family car. Just wondered if you thought that transmission might ever make it's way into the sports car world?

I just had a cop give me a thumbs up on my way home lol
Honestly cops just don't care here in AZ about our car mods. Just be respectful and they won't mind. Or get specialty car insurance like Hagerty. I have it for my Z and it's exempt from all emissions testing and inspections.
