Now this is just my experience from a short test drive so it's a very preliminary opinion but when I was applying throttle like a "normal" manual car (the way I was driving the muscle cars all day) I couldn't get the car to shift smoothly.

Once again, not trying to sound like a know-it-all just telling you how it was for me and that's it.
maybe you were applying too much trottle and the guy was telling you to lay off.

anyway, i need to apply slight throttle (just placing my foot gently on the throttle pedal is enough to keep the flywheels' momentum) otherwise the car will buck forward like all the other MT's ive driven. there's nothing special other than SRM.
