Whoa, whoa , whoa don't bash the CVT trannies, those are truly a work of art. They are designed to maintain RPMs at the point where the motor is making max torque/whp and the shift points are barely noticeable. They need to engineer something like that for manual trannies, but i will admit they are super temperamental and you have to use that expensive tranny fluid, but when they work they work

LOLOL, completely out of left field, you must really love ur miata

Yeah, i realize what they do, they're no fun, gotta feel that thing shift. I've gotten so used to my transmission i can make it shift into whatever gear i want and it's an Auto.

What about the Maximas smaller cousin... the Altima SE-R. Its pretty quick and has a nice aggressive look to it.
