I once hit 2nd on decel instead of 4th at over 100+ heading into an off ramp
thankfully I noticed before I released the clutch all the way since my attempt to rev match was so far off and the revs shot way up. -phantazn that sucks bro! I know I was only a **** hair away from being in the same situation.

i tried to downshift to third from to take a mustang and went to fifth like an idiot and didn notice til after i didn go anywhere and lost, then last week i started to take a 96-98 cobra cuz i figured it would be an easy race to take these two **** bags in their "race car" but low and behold i missed third at full throttle hit the rev limiter and just slowed down rolled the windows up and acted like nothin happened lol

Haha all great stories, I cant believe Ive never hurt anything, or maybe I did cuz my car does make all kinds of noises. Ive done the 3-2 at least 3 times, its terrible when your running against a very loud car because then the only thing keying you that you Effed up is the nose dropping to the ground ![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)
Whats worst then downshifting is coming into a corner hot, heel-toeing, and your foot slipping off the brake pedal
Its happened twice to me and i had JUST ENOUGH road both times
