I wouldn't bounce it off the limiter unless I was racing for a time or position and the corner was coming up real quick, but definitely not on a canyon run. I saw a few times where he could have shifted up, stayed in that gear for a second, and drop it back down before the corner and not have to bounce it off the limiter for 3 full seconds.

LOL that's our friend Austin Cabot, "A.Cab" on here I believe. He is the one following me while I filmed Billman in the night run on the Dragon video. (And staying right up my ass you might notice.) He tracked his S2k a lot, and set class records regularly. He's moved on to a modded Scion FRS (what he was driving in that night run) and is working on a Miata with a K-swap Honda motor. He used to live 5 miles north of the Dragon and knows the road quite well...one of the top 5 most impressive Gap drivers I've ever seen. No the Evo is not me.
And yes that pass and slide were pretty bone-headed.

Oh ye of little faith in Honda...blasphemer! From the description:
"For those of you wondering, the car had 66k miles on it when this video was posted. As of 7/20/12, it has 116k miles on it...motor has never had any issues. Car still has the original clutch, original diff, and original wheel bearings."

Could be something as simple as a bad gas, bad O2 sensor, or using a test pipe (w/o a defouler), or etc..... doesn't always mean something big/bad is wrong.
