Yeah, not the best on that second gear downshift... Just can't seem to get the timing just right!!! Part of it is mine is a little notchy, I think my syncros are a little tired, so there is a bit of a balk. Only 3 down to 2, and not always. Of course, there is NO way it's user error. I'm just too good!

Hey Gilles,
I do have a louder exhaust which I enjoy, it's the gas I noticed. I filled with the 93 on Sunday and drove to a friends. I went about 60 miles and used about a quarter of a tank of gas. At close to $4/gallon I am thinking I need to stay lower than 3k for cruising. It does sound wonderful at 3k though.
Thanks everyone, I'll take it down a notch.
