The application for this technique is shifting with a blown clutch.

If your going to drop $40 k on a sports car, make sure your not too poor afterwards to beable to afford towing your car and getting the clutch replaced, and/or dont buy your 17 year old child a $40 k sports car who's going to drive like a jag off and blow a clutch.

just my .2 cents

Meh... what if you're in the middle of nowhere or if you're a mile from your house? It's really not that big of a deal.

Or if your syncros are gone and you want to keep your gears from grinding while operating the car.
