it may be a bit hard to explain what I am actually dealing with most of the time I have to be on the maintenance throttle very quickly and there is a slim line between keeping the car steady or causing a lift off oversteer at those speeds ..

Like you mentioned those transitions may be somewhat easier with sportbikes, I used to own two of them (Gixxer 600 and Ninja 1000, and totaled both of them within 8 months, long story lol) and slipper clutches were great help ..but as you can imagine fast in - fast out requires some serious "man berries" on motorcycle and maybe some serious experience with trail braking technique which I never experienced on a motorcycle

I will try getting a lighter flywheel as you suggested and am hoping that it will help me at track days..
