Well, I guess I didn't cover application.  My understanding is that it *can* be very helpful (w/ both rwd and fwd) at changing the car's attitude in a corner.  I guess the proper time is after turn in, but before apex?  Allows weight to be transferred forward w/o getting off the gas.  (maybe I'll look at those links now)

Honestly, since I've owned the 240, I haven't been autoxing where fast transitions make this a useful technique.  I find on the track that breating off the throttle does more than enough correction in most cases.  I only do that when I underestimated the turn.
