Well, if he uses his motor to slow him down so he can downshift, he
obviously doesn't know much about cars.

First of all, the Celica has gears that aren't close enough. So get your
facts straight. Another thing, that grind isn't a warning that you are in
the wrong gear. They are called synchro's. Learn more about what you are
talking about before you actually talk about it. I'd be VERY VERY surprised
if the S2000 and the GT-S didn't have synchro's. That would mean you would
have to double clutch and match revs just to downshift, which a lot of
people don't know about. I highly doubt that.
