I got most at 6.0 or higher. The car needs to be left in D with no shifting. Might do that 5.7 that way.

The car will shift in D as well, depends on where the throttle is. The D-step shift logic feels like it's between 25-100% throttle. Lower than 25%, drives like a normal CVT. Now if you put your foot all the way down it will still "shift" BUT, if you press harder on the pedal there is a detent the pedal will pop into and in this position it will do normal CVT hard accel without shifting. The video shows both methods.

I keep getting called by Bobby at Mossy Nissan to come check out the 8th Gen Maxima and I was there 7am yesterday morning! Wow the magazines photo don't do any justice for the 8th Gen Maxima....Wow it's really nice! It looks kinda like a Ford Fusion in the front and Mazda from the side but a very atrractive vehicle inside and out....The vehicle I looked at was a SL model which had 18" wheels instead of the 19" SR wheels...The interior was really beautiful and sexy...I'm sold and It needs Headers, catback, drop sport springs, etc....already!

Sounds very similar to my 2012 Maxima...just a bit better. It also had no CVT whine...just like in this video. Only sound you hear is the engine at high rpms...and a good sound to listen to!

Recorded a quick stock exhaust clip of my SR in sport mode. Cold start and a few revs.

I tried this, but the CVT still simulates an up-shift. The car should accelerate quicker with WOT RPM not dropping on an up-shift
