my short shifter saved me from doing exactly that. was going pretty quick, went to shift into 4th but gated it into 2nd, but i was able to feel that it wasn't in the right gear before letting out the clutch so no harm was done. B&M shifter ftw.
Like importconvert said, changing your grip on your 3-4 shift can help avoid shifting into the wrong gear. if you just do the kung fu death grip for all shifts you are more likely to pull towards your body. |

i guess the benefit of having SRM is that it wakes you up when you enter the wrong gate as the engine rev's up electronically, but you get a moment to fix the situation before you clutch-out so you dont have mechanical over-rev.
mechanical over-rev = not nice to engine. electronic over-rev = bouncing off rev limiter = no issue. |

I did this today! I went from 5th to 2nd at around 50 MPH. BUT I did not go into gear, SRM saved the day!

If you can't blip the throttle or put the shifter in the right gear... just buy an automatic.

I've done in a Porsche 911 several times on track from 3rd to 4th & hit 2nd instead wearing gloves. Kind of makes you feel like a fool. Most Zs I would think are built to occasionally go 2k over redline no problem. Rough on but not devistating to a high performance engine/trans. What is redline speed in 2nd?
