Also quick question. Is downshifting using SRM to 3rd @ 20mph bad for the car? Whenever I downshift slowing down my rpm never rev's past 3000rpm max.
Driving your car hard can be considered "beating on your car" to some but everything is good in moderation. If you are revving it out to 7k every shift and bouncing off the rev limiter all the time that's what I would considering beating on it.

And no downshifting is not bad for your car.
