Why would you want to do this in a car? I do it on my streetbike when at the track for rapid accelleration but can't see a reason for this in the car.

I could think that this would be good to know if you have issues with your clutch and this knowledge can assist you with being able to maneuver the car in that scenario. Not sure that I would do it in a normal day's driving on a regular basis because I can't see the benefit tho. This would obviously not be very fruitful when in traffic patterns that require swift accel and shifting I would think either.


Great write up however and nice to see the time taken to do so.
