I can be driving (my RSX-S) at 120 kph and drop it into 3rd from 6th no problem. You should be too. My 2nd gear tops out at 100kph. 3 goes up to around 140 kph.
Just downshift to a gear you know you'll have some room to hit your redline at and you should be good. I'm betting you could have still gotten some in under 3rd gear. Just make sure you don't let the RPMs drop or you'll feel a big jerk. When downshifting, you actually want to the RPMs to rise to RPM match.

I've tired downshifting to 3rd (06 Si) from 130-135 ish, and you get like two seconds in 3rd then you redline. and i think our second gear maxs out just under 100kph. not too sure this is from what i remember reading, maybe i'll try it out after work hehehe
