Bingo... kinda like doing a DFCO in neutral and losing vacuum on your power brakes, then plowing thru an intersection on a red light. Almost did that a couple times. Next car I DFCO in neutral will be designed for it (no vacuum booster, disabled steering wheel lock mechanism).

IMO, until you've truly foolproofed it, some things are just best not doing since the potential risks are greater than the benefits.
