Gap is relevant due to the diminished value of the vehicle after a wreck.

When I still had my NA as a track rat, I had no problem throwing it around on track because it wasn't my daily driver, I paid cash for it and all the mods, and figured if I wadded it up, I just buy another and swap over any remaining good parts.
Gap insurance won't help with diminished value. All gap insurance does for you is make up the difference between the book and loan values if the car is totaled. It doesn't help one little bit if not written off.
