    That goes to the rest of you too. It doesn't actually require more than a few brain cells to realize you can tune a CVT to hang at the highest HP RPM range and easily get better performance than any other transmission. God dammit it's like telling monkeys that there are better options than flinging their shit at each other.

    Or optimize it to hold the engine at the vehicles most efficient speeds. Or with electronic control it can be made to do both.

    CVT didn't take off like we thought they would. The sun gear transmission still dominates.

    It should be CVTs, without the apostrophe, as it is a plural

    I don't understand. Then why is there CVT transmission fluid? Also when should the CVT belt be changed? My owner's manual does not say. And if I go to the dealership they will probably say right now time for it to change because they want to screw you out of money. Any feedback appreciated.

    Yeah, these were my thoughts, but I have yet to see a performance CVT, at least one that can handle high amounts of torque. Most smaller applications like fmods, typically using the rotaxes will use their standard centrifugal clutch deal to achieve similar effects, haven't seen much on performance applications. The closest is a boosted altima (or maxima) running low boost, not much over the stock power. My guess is it's a pain in the ass to move the chain/band at 500hp :-\.
