He shouldn't have been downshifting in the first place at 7k rpm. I don't know what he was thinking, but I've also heard in the 6 speed transmissions that it is quite easy to misshift. I think someone on the mr2 forums figured out his rpms, it was like 19k.

wtf dude... you need to redline an mx-3 to get any power out of it too... old muscle cars are the only vehicles around nowadays with grunt down low.

I don't see why you guys are ripping on the lack of Torque out of the vtec engines...it's not like we're blazing along with our 100ft/lbs...

Hmm. No sympaty from me. You need to take care of your car. And you need to know how to drive it. Mis-shifting is okay, but when your down shifting you better have your stuff together.

maybe its just how i am, but i have done something similar with my 92 toyota truck i had, got it down to 2nd from 4th, started to let the clutch out but it started to slow down to fas for 3rd, i didnt push it way over like he did, maybe i just pay way to much attention when i drive, to bad i can see pics
