I use it when i'm coming off the highway real fast and happen to catch a green light at the intersection. Need to get into the right rev range and gear fast to slingshot around the corner without upsetting the cars balance. Heel and toe is easy on this car....but i'm a skinny short dude who's feet aren't too big.

^ also very useful on green light right/left hand turns w/ no traffic or pedestrians =)...40km right hand turns w/o stepping into other lanes ...on regular driving haha
when more spirited (make sure no cops around) u can do 60km/hr

just make sure u know how to drive a FWD properly...otherwise u'll understeer even @ 40km/hr right turns and possibly smashing into other objects

(brake b4 turn, and have ur foot in partial throttle during turn *transfers some of the weight to the rear* and once ur almost straight, go flat out!!! )
^practice @night when theres no one there...wouldnt wanna get into an accident
