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.

Weird. When I completely got off the throttle (zero throttle) there was no bucking what-so-ever. The guy told me to completely remove both feet from the pedals. I assure you I was no more aggressive on the throttle than I was on any of the American cars I was driving that day. Applying zero throttle to achieve smooth shifts between 1st and 2nd was repeatable for the duration of the test drive.
