Yeah, Ralph.
That's about as "blown" as I've seen lately.
Being a similarly talented driver (LoL), I've made the same downshift in my
wife's Prelude. TWICE.
No evidence of any damage.
(Maybe I was just quicker sensing the mistake and getting the clutch back
in--?? but not likely. Surely I'm older and slower than the driver of that
car.) Actually, I was probably closer to 6 grand than 7, both times.

Now this is a blown engine! Guy went from 5th gear at 7 grand, to 2nd
gear... 16,500 RPM's and one exploded/burnt/melted engine later here are
the pics.
