typical belt driven CVTs are extremely fragile and they just have terrible driving characteristics. even with the fake shift tuning they still have a massive rubber band effect and are extremely laggy
Neither will I. In fact, the last two "family car" choices have been made in large part because of CVTs. 2001 Nissan Maxima to 2010 Subaru Legacy GT because the Max went to CVT, Legacy GT to WRX because the Legacy went fully CVT.
Then you must live a REALLY sheltered life. Haha. You don't have to believe it. Whatever his settings were, ain't my problem. He wanted it, he got it.
Was it a slow convertible?
In theory, a CVT (with proper programming) should be able to do a better job of keeping an engine at or very close to peak power than any transmission that features discrete gear ratios.
No, black hardtop with white stripes.
The biggest issue with how they operate is they require the engine to speed up significantly before they "shift" up.
Fragility aside, they are horrible to drive. You have a permanent feeling that the car is broken, there's absolutely no relationship between the engine's revving speed and the car's acceleration. When starting from a standstill you press the throttle pedal and feel like nothing happens, although the vehicle is actually accelerating. Kickdown when you want to overtake someone is even worse - you press the pedal to the floor, and for one second nothing happens, then it takes another second for the engine to get to high revs, then it stays there at relatively constant (very high) rpm for the rest of the time. You hear the engine screaming continuously and constantly and have no idea how hard you're actually accelerating. An external observer would be able to measure your acceleration rate and to prove that technically speaking it's perfect, but you don't feel anything.
The answer is in you sig block. That oil separator gave you at least 500 more duck power.
anything can happen on the street, at the track that's a different story
the other guy, if he was really A10, probably had severe traction issues or something like that. anything can happen on the street from a stop
My oil separator gives phuk all for Horsepower. He was driving a 18 or 19 GT, and I know the difference between a auto and a stick.. I didn't have to ask, didn't care. Man some of you A10 guys get butt hurt.
Soooo, legit story here. A friend had an 07 V6 mustang. We were at a light next to a scooter of sorts. We joked about racing it (scooter didn't know) and when the light hit green, he stalled. We sat there in laughter (99% mine) as the scooter putted away. 10ish years later and it's still one of the first things I bring up when we check in.
Nope, butt not hurting in the least. Legit want to here about the race, but whatever man lol. For the record I am in fact in the manual crowd, been my preference for the last 20 years. Hard to judge emotion and/or intent via text, all good.
