downshift in 6 speed
this may be a stupid question but what gear do you guys normally downshift to when going 55-65 and you would like to go faster/pass? i usually put it in fourth and the rpms are before vtec engages, but occasionally i put it in 3rd where vtec is already engaged. does it hurt to put it into 3rd as opposed to 4th?

Yeah, it is a bit much... that's why I usually just grab 4th from 6th...

Never herd that term before. Please elaborate.
