you can put the car into neutral without pressing down the clutch if you ease the car out of gear at the right rpm ... that's what the synchros are for.

Rahilio, I would never change from one gear to another, even neutral, without pushing in the clutch first. OK, he can do it maybe 99 out a 100 times, its that one time he might chip a couple of teeth off the gear. Showing off like that is asking for trouble. He's playing a silly game that may have expensive consequences.
