I saw the needle swing past 10,000 on the tach for a very aggressive downshift the other day

the rear tires didn't lock up though ...

yes, heavy trailbraking no less, but the ABS is operational so who knows how hard the rear calipers were kicking in, I was a bit busy at the moment

That's one of the good points we use for marketing the Renesis : the fact you can do an over-optimistic downshift withtout the valves coming to kiss the pistons, unlike the more commonly used Civic-R engine...
