What good would have come from being in 4th when you're already that fast in the first place? Just doesn't seem logical to me at all.
:dunno:
7k in 5th gear would not be 120. The guy was downshifting to go into a curve. He wasn't at 7k like someone said, he was at 6k and slowing down. He hit inbetween 4th and 6th and the momentum of the shift bounced it into 2nd and by the time he realized what happened, it was too late. There's alot of people being dicks about it and really talking trash but it was just an accident that could happen to anyone.
