What is the CVT-M8 for 3k yen more than the 6MT or 5AT?

Re: Skyline Sedan
I believe the 276hp is in Japanese measurement, not SAE measurement that we usually use here in the states...
kind of like how Bimmers and Mercs usually have DIN hps instead of SAE hps... for example, the new Bucatti Veyron has 1000 hp according to DIN standard, but "only" 987 hp when using SAE standard....

PS in German is Pferde Stark which means Horse Power translated. Europeans tend to measure horse power the correct way...At the wheels. So there is no exact mathmatical formula between HP at the crank and at the wheels. Let me know if I am wrong. kW is the other measurement used.
1 kiloWatt (kW) = 0.7470 BHP
Here is where I got my numbers from:

Re: Skyline Sedan
Yes, but on a CVT, they're kinda gimmicky. You get the best performance out of a CVT by just sticking it in D and letting it do it's thing. If you put it in manual mode and play with the gears, the engine gets out of it's powerband. The whole advantage of the CVT is the continuously variable gearing.
