Downshifting into 3rd



Ah, how I miss driving my S2000. Cruising along on the highway in 6th gear (where the S is fairly tame) at an unsuspecting 60mph. Step on the clutch and downshift it directly into 3rd gear and the RPMs jump up to 7,000 rpm (where the S2000 transforms into a complete beast), at which point I realize that I still have 2,000 rpm left until I hit redline. Once I reach it, I shift into 4th and come to the realization that I'm going well over 100mph with two gears still left to go. Words can't describe the sound or the feeling.
